BUILDING A GREENER TOMORROW
In 2005, the Singapore Government embarked on the green building movement by launching the
BCA Green Mark scheme. The BCA Green Mark scheme, a leading green building rating system in
the tropics and sub-tropics, serves as a benchmark for evaluating environmental sustainability in
buildings. It also formed the backbone for Singapore’s first Green Building Masterplan developed in
2006 to encourage, enable and engage industry stakeholders to adopt new green buildings.
The second Green Building Masterplan was launched in 2009 to tie in with the Inter-Ministerial
Committee on Sustainable Development (IMCSD)’s report on Sustainable Singapore. The focus then
shifted to greening the large existing building stock in order to achieve the key target in the IMCSD
report of having “at least 80% of the buildings in Singapore to be green by 2030”. With the two
Masterplans in place, the green building momentum spearheaded by BCA took off in Singapore and
achieved much international recognition.
With more than 25% of buildings already ‘greened’, we began an ambitious plan to accelerate the
green building agenda. The third Green Building Masterplan was developed to engage building
tenants and occupants more actively to drive energy consumption behavioural change and to
address the well-being of the people.
