Singapore 1.(2) ① D-2

1.Name of measure
D-2: BCA Green Mark Scheme and Green Mark Legislation (The rating started in January 2005;
the Green Mark Legislation took effect in Apr 08)

2.Purpose of measure
Launched in Jan 2005, the BCA Green Mark scheme is a green building rating system, designed
specifically for the Tropics, to evaluate a building’s environmental impact and performance.
The BCA Green Mark provides a meaningful differentiation of buildings in the real estate market.
It is a benchmarking scheme which incorporates internationally recognized best practices inenvironmental design and performance. This can have positive effect on corporate image,leasing and resale value of buildings.
The BCA Green Mark Scheme covers various areas of environmental sustainability including
energy and water efficiency, environmental protection and indoor environmental quality. Withemphasis placed on Energy Efficiency, the scheme was first launched as a voluntary
certification with 4 levels of ratings : Certified, Gold, GoldPlus and Platinum.
The scheme also forms the backbone of various initiatives and measures under BCA including
incentive schemes and minimum environmental sustainability standards/ legislation on both newand existing buildings.
Today, the BCA Green Mark scheme is not just applied to new and existing individual buildings,
but also deployed to promote environmental sustainability beyond buildings. This includes parks,
supporting infrastructures, districts, rapid transit systems, and even occupant-centric spaces
within buildings such as in supermarkets, restaurants, and healthcare facilities.

3.Target sector (transport, building, manufacturing, etc.)
Developers, Building owners, and tenants of various sectors, including commercial, residential,industrial, etc.

4.Financial resources and budget allocation of measures
Pls refer to the tab on "• Individual data 2. (3) C (BCA)".
5.Method to measure effects of measures (reduction in energy consumption and energy cost, etc.)
BCA keeps track of the total number of green buildings certified under the Green Mark schemeand total gross floor area 'greened'. To-date, there are:
- Total number of Green Buildings: More than 2,500- Total Green GFA: More than 70 million m2- % of total GFA: > 29%

6.Results of measures
Pls see above. Singapore is on track to achieve the key target set by the Inter-Ministerial
Committee on Sustainable Development (IMCSD) in 2009: to green at least 80% of the buildingsin Singapore by 2030.
7.Future tasks
More Green Mark schemes with specific criteria will be progressively added to address therequirements of different building facilities.
