Green Building Assessment

Stage 1:

Application and Registration

Applicants are recommended to make an inquiry pertaining to proposed project in which certification is to be done. This is so that the application procedure can commence smoothly. Once application form has been submitted along with required documents as stipulated within the application form, a Letter of Offer (LOO) is issued to the applicant. Once the Letter of Offer has been accepted by the applicant, the initial stage of the project assessment can commence.

 

Stage 2:

Project Pre-Assessment and Actual Assessment

Upon confirmation of successful application for assessment of a project, the project team can opt for a Pre-assessment (optional) or submit for Actual Assessment directly. The pre-assessment stage is an opportunity for the project team to clarify proposed design strategies prior to formal review submission i.e Actual Assessment stage. All Documentary evidences per submission checklist must be compiled accordingly for Actual Assessment stage review.

The Actual Assessment review is done in accordance to the guidelines and criteria set by GreenRE and is performed by the both internal and external assessors. The project team involved in the development will be notified of any further clarification required during this assessment process. Once the project team has satisfied criteria and requirements stipulated, a Letter of Award and Provisional Certificate is issued to accredit the development

Stage 3:

Site Verification Assessment

After the construction and completion of the proposed development, the applicant is required to submit a Site Verification Assessment Form (SVA). This needs to be done within six (6) months of buildings operation or 50% building occupancy whichever comes earlier. The maximum allowable time to commence site verification is within one (1) year of CCC. The Site Verification Form initiates the final step in the certification process, which includes the physical verification of the project (site verification).

If all criteria and requirements agreed upon in the initial pre-assessment procedure is satisfactory and have been sufficiently executed, a final review is done by the Assessors and results will be notified. Following the final review, the much-coveted GreenRE Final Certificate is awarded to accredit the project team, individuals and organizations involved in their achievements towards the advancement of sustainable real estate in Malaysia.

Stage 4:

Application for Green Tax Incentives

In Budget 2014, the Government had announced the provision of investment tax allowance (ITA) for the purchase of green technology assets and income tax exemption (ITE) on the use of green technology services and system to further strengthen the development of green technology (GT).

Stage 5:

Certificate Renewal

GreenRE Certificate is valid for 3 years from the date of issuance of Final Certificate. Thereafter, the building/project will need to undergo a re-certification progress. The re-certification process is to recognise the sustained performance in areas of energy and water efficiency, waste management, operations and management, and indoor environment quality. By satisfying a checklist of performance metrics, such buildings can be re-certified to the same GreenRE scheme and rating.
