Criteria for Green Mark certification for data centres to be tighter from March 2025
Buildings seeking this certification will need to show higher levels of water energy as well, on top of energy efficiency
THE Building and Construction Authority (BCA) and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) unveiled changes to the Green Mark for data centres on Friday (Oct 18).
BCA said on its website that the updated criteria for Green Mark certification, now in a “beta” or pre-release state, will replace the existing certification on Mar 1, 2025.
The green building rating system evaluates a building’s environmental impact and performance. The Green Mark certification awards points based on sustainability criteria in areas such as energy and water efficiency, sustainable construction and management and indoor environment quality.
