Certified Green Mark Professional (GMP) Programme

The Certified Green Mark Professional Programme is a training and recognition scheme introduced by BCA to raise industry capability in the niche area of Sustainable Design and Development. Designed as a voluntary career upgrading programme for building professionals, the scheme recognises individuals with the relevant competencies in green building design and practices.  Candidates seeking accreditation as Certified Green Mark Professionals with BCA would need to complete the Certification Course for GMP besides meeting other pre-requisites (please see eligibility for GMP Certification below). The GMP course is offered as a series of short modules, focused on design concepts, practical green solutions & technologies and the use of building simulation tools to predict building performance. The scheme envisions a GMP as:

A competent professional who possesses the knowledge and skills needed to carry out detailed design, prediction and enhancement of building performance for Green Mark certification and implementation.

Efficient Building Envelope Design, ETTV & RETV

INTRODUCTION

Amidst today's energy crisis, the importance of passive controls in reducing energy requirements in buildings has become increasingly clear. The building envelope separating the indoor space from the outdoor environment has an important role in the passive control because it acts as a modifier of the direct effects of climate variables such as the outdoor temperature, humidity, wind, solar radiation and rain, which are the parameters influencing the energy requirements and thermal comfort within a building. Therefore, the proper selection of façade materials and their creative applications are essential for enhancing the thermal building performance of building envelopes.

In the Green Mark for Buildings Scheme by BCA, Building Envelope is one of the key criteria in the assessment score to encourage building owners, facility/managers and design professionals to use thermally efficient cladding/glaze materials, sun shading devices and innovative features to optimize building facade performance.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The importance of passive controls in reducing energy requirements in buildings has become increasingly clear.  This course will provide participants with a better understanding of the performance aspects of modern façade systems including the construction, manufacturing process, material, installation and thermal efficiency.  A special focus will also be placed on the application of innovative daylighting systems while minimising glare and solar heat from daylight. The course will also cover the concept of ETTV/RTTV and discuss strategies to reduce the value.
