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.

Elective Module

Maximising Green Design Through

Building Automation

INTRODUCTION

A green building will typically incorporates innovative, cost-effective environmental design and construction in the areas of site, water, energy, materials and indoor environmental quality.  While many different components are involved in making sure that a building is built green, there is one tool that can help ensure that a building remains green after it is built. That tool is a building automation system (BAS).  When properly integrated into a building, a BAS can help to optimize energy, operations and indoor comfort over the entire lifetime of the building. Besides minimizing the building’s environmental impact, such benefits can also minimise operation and maintenance costs while increasing employee retention and productivity, making a BAS a valuable investment.

A BAS plays a key role in supporting green design; it is essential for building professionals and owners involving in green building projects to consider this valuable tool from design through commissioning through the full optimization of any sustainable design.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

This 1-day training will equip participants with the knowledge of the different control concepts and the technology available in the market to support the development of high performance green buildings.  Special focus is placed on maximizing energy savings through proper building automation and controls in particularly with air-conditioning systems without comprising thermal comfort and indoor air quality.  Gain practical insights on some of the proven technological strategies that have been successful implemented from the case study examples including award-winning green buildings in Singapore.
