Question 1
The office building was built in year 2012 and has not obtained any Green Mark certification
before.
The office building is occupied by a single tenant/entity. The building management team had
done an analysis of the buildingÂ’s energy performance by extracting the data from the various
systems.
The current performance and findings of the systems are listed in Appendix A.
The client is considering to have the building undergo retrofitting to improve the buildingÂ’s
energy performance.
The objective is to achieve Green Mark Gold Plus under the new Green Mark 2021 framework.
You are to use Pathway 1: EUI for this.
(a)
As part of the feasibility exercise, you are to review the current performance and
findings of the existing building. Based on the data available (Refer to Appendix A),
describe and present to the client how does the current building fare on the Energy
Efficiency Section of GM: 2021.
Finally, demonstrate your ability to identify and recommend areas for improvement to
comply to the pre-requisites for the Energy Efficiency Section of GM: 2021 for the
building.
