Trainer Info
Dr John Min is the Associate Faculty member in the School of Science and Technology at the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS). He currently leads several modules, including Energy Management and Audit (FMT307), Sustainable Buildings (FMT315), and Low Energy and Energy Efficient Buildings (FMT502). In addition to his role at SUSS, he also delivers lectures at the BCA Academy, Singapore Polytechnic, and Temasek Polytechnic.
From 2010 to 2020, Dr. John Min was appointed as a member of the Technical Committee on "Building Maintenance and Management" by the Singapore Standards Council. This committee is responsible for the review and approval of Singapore Standard Codes of Practice. Notably, several relevant standards, such as the Code of Practice for Energy Efficiency Standard for Building Services and Equipment (SS 530), the Code of Practice for Air-Conditioning and Mechanical Ventilation in Buildings (SS 553), the Code of Practice for Indoor Air Quality for Air-Conditioned Buildings (SS 554), and the Code of Practice for Long-Term Measurement of Central Chilled Water System Energy Efficiency (SS 591), fall under the purview of this technical committee.
