- help me with this Question for revision purpose and as well with references The office building was built in year 2017 and has not obtained any Green Mark certification before. The office building is occupied by a single tenant/entity. The building management team had done an analysis of the building’s energy performance by extracting the data from the various systems. The current performance and findings of the systems are listed in Appendix A. The client is considering to have the building undergo retrofitting to improve the building’s energy performance. The objective is to achieve Green Mark Gold Plus under the new Green Mark 2021 framework. For part (a) below, you are to use Pathway 1: EUI for this. (a) As part of the feasibility exercise, you are to interpret the current performance of the existing building based on the data available (Refer to Appendix A).
