BCA Green Mark Scheme

A green building
rating system to
evaluate building
for its environmental
impact and
performance
Launched in Jan 2005 a rating system for the tropics

ASEAN/OCEANIA TRAINING CENTER

BCA Green Mark Scheme

The new Building Control (Environmental Sustainability) Regulations
2008 will apply to :
All new building works with gross floor area of 2000 m2 or more;
Additions or extensions to existing buildings which involve increasing
gross floor area of the existing buildings by 2000 m2 or more;
Building works which involve major retrofitting to existing buildings
with existing gross floor area of 2000 m2 or more.
Effective date of implementation will be based on the first submission date
for URA planning permission on or after 15 Apr 2008.
