Other Green Mark Schemes

BCAI also offers the following other Green Mark schemes for our overseas stakeholders:

  • New & Existing Data Centres
  • Districts
  • Healthier Workplaces

New & Existing Data Centres

BCA-IMDA Green Mark for Data Centres scheme comprises of a dedicated green building rating system for Data Centres (DCs) that is designed to encourage the adoption of energy efficient design, operation and management of data centres. The scheme was jointly developed by BCA and Infocomm Development Authority (predecessor of Infocomm Media Development Authority) with supporting partners from Energy Research Institute @ Nanyang Technological University (ERI@N) and Lawrence Berkeley National Labs (LBNL) in the US.

Districts

BCA’s Green Mark for Districts was launched in 2009 to promote and recognise environmentally friendly and sustainable practices in master planning, design and implementation of district developments. It places emphasis on energy and water efficiency, management of infrastructure and public amenities, environmental planning, and green buildings and green transport.

Healthier Workplaces

To strengthen the business case for energy-efficient, resource efficient and healthier interior spaces, BCA collaborated with Health Promotion Board (HPB) to develop the new BCA-HPB Green Mark for Healthier Workplaces scheme (GM HW: 2018). The health and well-being of building occupants is increasingly becoming a major value proposition for the adoption of green buildings and interior spaces. This awareness is echoed by business leaders and companies that place growing emphasis on employee health and well-being to differentiate themselves as the employer of choice. In line with global trend and increasing demand for green and healthy buildings, the BCA Green Mark has been placing greater emphasis on the quality of indoor environments as well as the health, comfort and well-being of the users and occupants.
