1. OBJECTIVE(S)

“At least 80% of the buildings in Singapore to be green by 2030” – this is one of the key targets set by the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Sustainable Development (IMCSD) for Singapore’s built environment. Since Singapore embarked on its green building journey in 2005, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), and the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC), have been working closely with the building and construction industry stakeholders to accelerate and drive the greening of our built environment through a concerted private-public sector partnership.

The BCA-SGBC Green Building Individual Awards is to accord recognition to like-minded individuals, from across the building and construction value chain, for their consistent contribution and outstanding achievements in this challenging yet fulfilling journey towards greater environmental sustainability in the built environment. This initiative will go a long way in raising the profile and ensuring the retention of capable professionals and practitioners in the industry.

Nominees who are below age forty (40) in Yr 2015 are automatically eligible for the BCA-SGBC Young Green Building Individual Award to recognise young professionals who have made significant green contributions to the industry.
