On 4th Mar 2020, The Ministry of National Development Singapore announced the revised edition of the Singapore Green Building Masterplan(SGBMP)<\/strong>. The fourth edition of the SGBMP also known as \u201c80-80-80 in 2030\u201d due to its ambitious targets, comes as part of the Singapore Green Plan 2030<\/a>. The plan is developed by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) and the Singapore Green Building Council and industry stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singapore has been leading the efforts to reduce the greenhouse gas emission from the build infrastructure. Since the launch of the green mark scheme in 2005, BCA has initiated various programs to create an economically and environmentally driven ecosystem of stakeholders to charge the green building movement in Singapore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

80-80-80 in 2030 : Quick overview<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Since the first edition of SGBMP in 2006, It has been receiving immense support and collaboration from public and private enterprises to make a success. The latest edition of SGBMP is a result of their engagement activities with more than 5000 stakeholders since Jan 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SGBMP come up with 3 aggressive targets, to accelerate the adoption of green building technology<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. 80% of singapore’s building to be green marked<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    As per the last edition of the SGBMP, the goal is to green 80 percent of buildings by gross floor area (GFA) by 2030. But with the revised edition the government wants to accelerate the pace of greenification. Now the existing buildings can benchmark their energy performance against similar building types and take the necessary steps for energy optimization for asset maintenance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    BCA will also raise the \u2018minimum energy performance requirements for all new construction and existing building stock from 2021 and subsequently the standards of the green mark scheme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. 80% of all the new building to be super low energy building <\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      According to the definition, super low energy (SLE) are the buildings that achieve equivalent to 60% energy savings over the 2005 building standards. The Government wants 80% of all the new buildings from 2030 would be classified as SLE buildings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      BCA has also published the required technology roadmap to achieve SLE building standards earlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Achieving 80% Energy Efficiency improvement for best in class buildings<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        The 3rd target is achieving an even higher level of energy efficiency among top building assets. Till now, best-in-class buildings are able to achieve 65% improvement in energy efficiency over 2005 levels, with this target BCA wants to raise the bar to 80%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        BCA will support such a building through its Green Buildings Innovation Cluster (GBIC) program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        What are the Implications of those targets? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The latest targets have opened up a lot of opportunities for the entire Energy Efficiency ecosystem. From material procurement, design, resource management to electronics and smart technology providers, everyone has a huge scope to excel and prove their value to building owners.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
