Overview
Under the Singapore Green Building Masterplan (SGBMP), more ambitious targets to green the Built Environment sector has been set. The Masterplan, dubbed “80-80-80 in 2030” captures our collective commitment to pursue more ambitious standards in out Built Environment to meet our global climate change commitments. It targets greening 80% of Singapore’s buildings by Gross Floor Area (GFA) by 2030, 80% of new developments (by GFA) to be Super Low Energy (SLE) buildings from 2030, and 80% improvement in energy efficiency to best-in-class green buildings by 2030. As such, BCA has newly launched the BCA Green Mark 2021 (GM: 2021) framework, which places stronger focus on outcome-based indicators, covers wider sustainability issues and introduces a new SLE energy efficiency standards for residential buildings. To provide and support continued capability development in the area of sustainability to build a pool of competent Green Specialists, this course aims to keep professionals abreast on the latest GM: 2021 framework. To equip practitioners with latest development of the green building initiatives and BCA Green Mark criteria, keeping industry practitioners abreast on latest initiatives and requirements.
Starting from January 2024, our Green Mark courses have been updated to align with the latest edition of Green Mark (GM:2021) – the 2nd edition.
We would like to share three key updates to GM:2021 2nd edition.
- Energy Efficiency: Introduction of GM:2021 In-Operation for Existing Residential Buildings.
- Whole Life Carbon:Inclusion of accounting for A5 Construction Phase embodied carbon emissions for all building typologies.
