Assess your renovation's environmental impact: Key performance indicators

Frequently Asked Questions


Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as material sourcing, waste reduction, energy efficiency, and water conservation can help you measure your renovation projects environmental impact.
Look for materials with eco-labels, recycled content, low VOC emissions, and sustainable sourcing certifications. Track the percentage of your materials that meet these criteria.
Implement a waste management plan, track the volume of waste diverted from landfills through recycling and donation, and set targets for waste reduction.
Monitor energy consumption before and after the renovation, install energy-efficient appliances and lighting, and assess the insulation and ventilation performance of your space.
Install water-efficient fixtures, monitor water usage, and consider rainwater harvesting or greywater recycling systems to reduce water consumption.
The Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC) and the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) offer resources, certifications, and guidelines for sustainable building and renovation practices.
