69 BCA GREEN MARK FOR EXISTING RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS AWARD Greening the existing building stock is a key national priority. The Inter-Ministerial Committee on Sustainable Development (IMCSD) has set a vision for the built environment - “at least 80% of the buildings in Singapore to be green by 2030”.
To recognise the eco-conscious efforts of town councils, managing agents and even residents towards reducing the environmental footprint of residential buildings, BCA has developed a new Green Mark assessment system for Existing Residential Buildings, which applies to both private and public developments.
70 The assessment system for Existing Residential Buildings was developed through numerous consultation sessions with stakeholders including managing agents, town councils and relevant government agencies, covering aspects such as:
●● Energy Efficiency,
●● Water Efficiency,
●● Sustainable Operation & Management,
●● Community & Wellbeing, and
●● Other Green Features (which are innovative and have positive environmental impact)
The BCA Green Mark scheme for Existing Residential Buildings is an evaluation framework for the stakeholders keen to green existing residential buildings. This scheme will also identify environmentally-friendly residential buildings as exemplars for the industry. This scheme also recognizes the collective efforts of home owners and residents that are crucial towards transforming the built environment towards environmental sustainability.

87 BCA-LTA GREEN MARK FOR RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEMS AWARD The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) in collaboration with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has developed the BCA-LTA Green Mark for Rapid Transit Systems (RTS). It was officially launched in Oct 2010 along with the conferment of the first Green Mark Gold Award to the Circle Line for its environmentally friendly design and features.
The BCA-LTA Green Mark for RTS Award sets out a practical and sustainable way forward in the development of rapid transit systems and networks. It comprises three key strategies namely:
●● Effective Use of Energy Promote efficient use of energy through better design and provisions of electrical and mechanical systems and regenerative energy equipment to enhance the operational performance of RTS networks.
●● Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development Promote utilisation of environmentally friendly designs, materials and construction practices.
●● Water Conservation Promote the use of innovative water saving technologies and devices to reduce water consumption and to recycle waste water for non-potable use
The scheme effectively integrates various sustainability strategies in the planning, design, construction and operational aspects of the RTS, providing a holistic approach in evaluating and rating the environmental impact and performance of rapid transit systems of existing and future lines.

89 BCA GREEN MARK FOR DISTRICTS AWARD The Green Mark for Districts Awards is an initiative by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) to promote and recognise environmentally-friendly and sustainable practices in the planning and implementation of district developments. An extension of the popular BCA Green Mark for Buildings Award scheme, the Green Mark for Districts Awards seeks to achieve a holistic and integrated approach in the planning and design of multiple buildings and infrastructure within the district from the initiation stage. The districts are evaluated based on the following five criteria:
●● Energy Efficiency
●● Water Management
●● Material & Waste Management
●● Environmental Quality & Protection
●● Green Building & Other Green Features
By moving beyond buildings and implementing Green Mark at the district level, the scheme will make more significant contributions to reductions in waste, carbon emissions, energy and water consumption.
Green Districts helps individual buildings leverage on a more sustainable district platform, leading to better environmental performance and cost effectiveness.
Green Mark for District projects show a 10%-40% of energy savings and more than 40% of water savings.
