The Green Mark Incentive Scheme will be enhanced to the tune of S$63 million. This is to help building owners lower the upfront costs of retrofits and help help existing buildings become more energy-efficient.
The changes include upgrading the cooler system, redesigning spaces for natural ventilation and installing solar panels.
This move comes after the revised Green Mark Scheme that was launched last year. Projects with higher standards of energy performance, can get higher rates of funding support.
