BCA GREEN MARK PLATINUM AWARD CRITERIA

SL. STANDARDS CRITERIA APPLICATION IN BUILDING INFERENCE

NO

1 Energy ● Thermal performance of building envelope(ETTV)
efficiency ● Air conditioning system
● Building envelope design or thermal parameters
● Natural ventilation or mechanical ventilation
● Day lighting
● Artificial lighting
● Ventilation in car- parks
● Ventilation in common area
● Lift and escalators
● Energy efficient practices and features
● Renewable energy
● Green mark platinum EETV required is lesser or equal to 40W/m2
● Minimum west facing window
● Sun Shading minimum of 30% in the west facade..
● Building orientation to achieve adequate cross ventilation utilizing prevailing wind
● Day lighting for common areas
● 39 W /m2
● Minimal use of windows. Used louvres, vegetated ramp, pocket parks on
facade.
● Maximum sun shading devices and overhanging ramp features throughout
the building facade
● Well designed louvre to control heat and maximise air circulation
● Atriums, car parking is giving natural lighting

● All day lit areas must be integrated with automatic electric lighting control system ● Light sensors used, thus switching off when not in need.

● Regulation in car parking ● Natural ventilation and daylight, CO reduction- all done by eco cell

● Encourage the use of energy efficient design ● Atrium corresponds to common areas also

● Use of energy heat recovery system ● Using vertical garden, solar shaft, light shelf and photocell users to
maximise the use of daylighting

2. Water ● Water efficient fittings ● Provision of suitable system that utilise rainwater and use of plants that require ● 700m3 rain water storage capacity at the eco cell and roof top.
efficiency ● Water usage and leak detection minimal water consumption ● Siphonic water drainage system and gravity drainage system
● Irrigation system and landscaping ● Reusable water for 5 days for landscaping purpose
● Water consumption of cooling tower

3 Environment ● Sustainable construction

protection ● Sustainable materials
● Greenery provision ● Both the main vertical/ lateral structural elements and the floor spanning systems ● Reduce carbon foot print as only less concrete is used.
● Stormwater management are constructed from steel,thereby saving the energy consumption during
construction.
● Building is equipped with rainwater recycling system ● 108% of site area is well landscaped with different biodiversity creating
various habitats
● Effectively landscaped

4 Indoor air ● Thermal comfort ● Indoor operative temperature between 24- 26degree celsius ● The louvers and the green ramp created a pleasant buffer space which
quality ● Noise level ● Relative humidity less than 65% significantly reduced solar gains and glares.
● indoor air pollutants ● The heat transfer through the low-e double glazed façades is considerably
● Indoor air quality management decreased.
● High frequency ballast ● Deep overhangs and large concentration of vegetation provide cooling
effect in building facade
● Vegetated ramp act as a buffer against exterior noise
● Plants purify the air from pollutants thus improving the air quality

5 Other Green ● Pneumatic waste collection system ● Waste heat from fan coil, and other electric units will help provide energy
Features and ● Carbon footprint for development for cooling
Innovations ● Calculation of concrete usage index ● Additional energy will be captured from cooling coils in air handling units
● Dual chute system ● Low-emissivity-double glazed facade
● Self cleaning facade system
● Conservation of existing building structure
