The assessment process involves a pre-assessment briefing to the project team for a better understanding and evaluation of CIOB Green Mark requirements and the certification level sought. Actual assessment would then be carried out at later stage to verify the relevant reports and documentary evidences and that the building project meets the intents of the criteria and certification level.

The assessment identifies the specific energy efficient and environment-friendly features and practices incorporated in the projects. Points are awarded for incorporating environment-friendly features which are better than normal practice. The

total number of points obtained will provide an indication of the environmental friendliness of the building design and operation. Depending on the overall assessment and point scoring, the building will be certified to have met the CIOB Green Mark Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze rating.

Certified Green Mark buildings are required to be re-assessed every three years to maintain the Green Mark status. New buildings certified will subsequently be re-assessed under the existing buildings criteria. Existing buildings will be re-assessed under the existing buildings criteria.

The CIOB Green Building Product (CGBP) certification scheme is a dedicated building product labeling scheme that evaluates building products and equipment for their environmental impact and performance. CGBP provides industry-recognised benchmark for green building products through its integrated and multi-criteria approach.

The assessment criteria focus on five key areas;

1. Energy efficiency2. Water efficiency3. Resource efficiency4. Health and pollution control5. Other requirements such as Environmental Quality Management Systems (EQMS)5. Technical performance/ innovation

With an increasing number of companies claiming that their products are eco-friendly as they ride on the green trend, businesses and consumers alike need to differentiate what is truly green from what is just "greenwash".

CIOB's Certification Scheme for Green Building products is a part of its overall mission to develop a truly sustainable and environmentally-friendly built environment. It is a dedicated green building product certification scheme that adopts an integrated and multi-criteria approach in its assessment.

The assessment criteria are formulated by building professionals and experts. The multi-tiered certification scheme adopts an independent, multi-criteria third-party approach that complies with the ISO 14020 Type I International Standard for environmental labeling. The assessment criteria adopt a scientific approach to ensure the assessment is rigorous and technically sound. Also, the criteria are based on comprehensive product life-cycle assessment to determine a product's long- term impact on the environment.

The Power of Green Certification

Our International Partners

Product differentiation is crucial to businesses offering authentic green solutions. CGBS certification is developed by a broad group of industry experts with the backing of an international green building accreditation body, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) of Singapore and is widely recognised for its comprehensive coverage of sustainability criteria. Good environmental credentials make the winning difference. That is why it is important to reinforce client's confidence with a reputable and credible certification scheme.

Potential clients can easily access the latest list of CGBC certified products and services through the online directory found on the CIOB website. Be included in product and services procurement and selection procedures where environmental credentials are increasingly a key factor.
