Efficiency
EE action plans: 
The minimum energy savings to be demonstrated for the following rating tiers are as follows: Level of Green Mark Award Minimum Energy Savings GoldPLUS 25% Platinum 30% For a building with air-conditioned area ≥ 5,000m2, an energy model shall be used to demonstrate the building's designed energy savings compared to a prescribed reference model that reflects prevailing building standards and codes of practice. [...] For a building with air-conditioned areas < 5,000m2, detailed calculations can be provided in place of energy modeling to justify the savings in energy consumption from a more efficient design. For buildings served by existing DCS plants eligible for Path B as per the requirements outlined in the Green Mark NRB: 2015 Technical Guide and Requirements, the energy savings to be demonstrated (excluding the consumption of the DCS plant) are as follows: Level of Green Mark Award Cooling Load Savings Energy Consumption Savings (excluding DCS plant) GoldPLUS 10% 27% Platinum 15% 33% For projects targeting Green Mark GoldPLUS or Platinum, the Energy Use Intensity should not exceed the 50th percentile value of similar building type, stated in the annual Building Energy Benchmarking Report (BEBR). In instances where the project exceeds the EUI stated, justification shall be provided and subjected to Green Mark assessment.
