Sustainability

Great World Residences aims to achieve the prestigious Green Mark Platinum Award from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) under the Green Mark 2021 (GM:2021) criteria, including attaining the Health & Well-Being (Hw) and Intelligence (In) badges.

The building is committed to working towards Net Zero Carbon emissions, focusing on reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 operational energy-related emissions that are within the building’s operational boundary, while taking a holistic approach towards overall emissions reduction. This will be achieved through the implementation of energy efficiency measures, as well as exploring the adoption of renewable electricity plans and renewable energy purchases.

Since 2025, Great World Residences has been progressively exploring and implementing various strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These include the integration of the chilled water system with the centralised chiller plant within the Great World City development, upgrading of airside equipment, and the adoption of Singapore Green Building Product (SGBP) certified materials, such as external wall paint.

In addition, the upcoming external wall painting and roof coating works will utilise cool and high solar reflectance coatings, which help to reduce solar heat gain into the building, thereby lowering cooling demand and improving overall energy efficiency.

The building also actively engages residents by promoting awareness of energy conservation and responsible resource usage, fostering a more sustainable living environment. In addition, initiatives such as the implementation of operational dashboards to monitor and benchmark energy and water consumption, asset tagging to streamline maintenance, and greenhouse gas emissions monitoring are being considered and progressively implemented to enhance operational performance and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.

Through these efforts, Great World Residences seeks to align with Singapore’s sustainability goals and progress towards becoming a Net Zero Carbon building over time.
