SGBC has been working with the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) to review the Green Mark User-Centric schemes to update its relevance for a broader base of application for interior spaces. In the past year, BCA and SGBC have been conducting walkthroughs with projects that have stepped forward to refine the criteria.
The new BCA Green Mark for Interiors (GMI) scheme will harmonise the current user-centric schemes and aims to address climate change through enhanced energy efficiency and carbon reduction measures. It also incorporates other sustainability aspects crucial for interior spaces. GMI will complement the existing Green Mark scheme for new and existing buildings while appealing to a broader range of projects and users seeking to implement sustainable fit-outs and operations.
GMI will come into effect on 1 Nov. 2025. All projects (new and existing) applying for Green Mark certification on or after 1 Nov. 2025 will be assessed under GMI. Projects that were previously certified under any of the five (5) Green Mark user-centric schemes will be assessed under GMI if they come in for recertification after 1 Nov. 2025.
