Please see BCA website for details.BCA Green Mark Criteria for New Buildings (2) These rates apply to new buildings and the new GFA added to existing buildings. (3) These rates apply to upgrading works for existing GFA. (4) The minimum energy savings requirements is only applicable for air-conditioned buildings (exclude residential buildings). The energy saving must be demonstrated by energy modeling and validated on completion.

7. Survey Questions 1Does your organisation feel that the current Green Building incentives and recognitions are adequate? If yes, what can be done to promote further participation? If no, what more can be done?

8. Survey Questions 2Does your organisation “contribute” towards Green Buildings incentives and recognitions? If yes, what have you done? If no, will you be doing something in the near future and what is it?

9. Survey Questions 3 What are the ways to incentivise owners/operators of existing buildings to improve energy efficiency and reduce total energy consumption in their buildings? 4 What are the likely areas of upgrading works that building owners will consider?
