KUALA LUMPUR: Sunway Vivaldi of Sunway City Bhd has received the coveted green mark certification from Singapore's Building and Construction Authority (BCA).

The BCA green mark was introduced in January 2005 as a key strategic programme to raise the awareness of sustainable and enviromentally friendly buildings.

The benefits of a green mark building include the cost of savings from efficient use of key resources such as energy and water, leading to lower operation and maintenance costs.

"Excellence in green buildings is a commitment of the company. We are very happy that this has been recognised by the Singapore BCA," said Suncity property development division managing director, Ngian Siew Siong.-- Bernama
