Overview
Under the Singapore Green Building Masterplan (SGBMP), ambitious sustainability targets have been set for the next phase of Singapore’s green building journey. The BCA Green Mark scheme supports these goals by driving greater energy efficiency and carbon reduction, while addressing broader sustainability outcomes across the Built Environment.
Green Mark v7.0 refreshes the Green Mark 2021 framework by providing more pathways and flexibility for projects to meet their sustainability goals. It introduces the standalone BCA Energy Rating, while projects pursuing holistic Green Mark certification will be assessed on their energy performance together with five other sustainability sections: Intelligence, Health & Wellbeing, Whole Life Carbon, Resilience and Maintainability.
The Certification Course for Green Mark Accredited Professional (GMAP) has been refreshed accordingly, with key enhancements under Green Mark v7.0 including:
- a new BCA Energy Rating and SLE₇₀ tier to recognise and encourage higher levels of energy performance;
- greater flexibility through the recognition of Alternative Cooling Technologies and streamlined maintainability requirements; and
- new certification approaches, including portfolio certification and extended certification validity for sustained performers.
