BCA Green Mark Scheme
Certified rating for sustainable buildings — no cash grant, but drives green finance access
Administered by Building and Construction Authority (BCA) · Window: 2005-01-01 → Ongoing
Support type
Certification standard (regulatory + market signal)
BCA Green Mark is Singapore's benchmark for building sustainability performance. It is not a direct cash grant, but Green Mark certification (Platinum, GoldPlus, Gold, Certified) is a prerequisite or scoring factor for multiple green-finance products (green loans, sustainability-linked lending) and ESG-linked capital allocation. Industrial estates that install EV charging infrastructure and integrated energy systems typically improve their Green Mark rating.
Who qualifies
- · All building types — residential, commercial, industrial, mixed-use
- · New builds and existing buildings (via Green Mark for Existing Non-Residential / MND)
- · Industrial estates and logistics warehouses can pursue Green Mark for Industrial Buildings
- · Fleet-electrification infrastructure typically contributes points across multiple criteria
How to apply
- 1. Apply for Green Mark assessment through BCA's certification pathway (design stage or operational stage)
- 2. Assess the building against the current Green Mark criteria (updated periodically)
- 3. Submit design and operational data — BCA assesses and awards the certification tier
- 4. Re-certification typically every 3 years to maintain the rating
Caps and window
Ongoing scheme. Criteria are updated periodically — verify current version with BCA before applying.
Notes
Not a cash grant, but often the gatekeeper for green finance. Property owners pursuing fleet electrification typically find Green Mark improvement is a byproduct of the work — and can be structured deliberately for finance-access purposes.
