Carbon Footprint Objective&Requirement

CarbonFootprint
Objective & Requirement
OBJECTIVE
To calculate the carbon emissions resulted from the associated energy used
during construction and operational phase of a development.
REQUIREMENT
To produce a complete carbon footprinting report of the development EITHER
by appointing an independent carbon consultant,
consultant OR by completing a carbon
footprinting form provided by BCA.
A simple carbon footprinting form has been developed jointly by BCANUS
BCA NUS to
capture the overall energy used from the construction and building operation
phase of a development.
