GREEN DESIGN ELEMENT 30%

• Climate, energy & water (5%)

  Concerns for energy independence and security had been increasing, and the impact of global climate change rising. It is essential to optimise the usage of energy in order to reduce load, increase efficiency, and utilise renewable energy.

• Building material & ecological environment (10%)

  Usage of environmental friendly materials aimed to minimise environmental impact such as global warming, resource depletion, and human toxicity. Building materials are able to reduce effect on the environment and contribute to improved worker safety and health, reduced liabilities, reduced disposal costs and achievement of environmental goals.

• Indoor environment quality (5%)

  The IEQ of a building has a significant impact on occupant health, comfort and productivity. Among other attributes, a sustainable building maximises day lighting; has appropriate ventilation and moisture control; avoids the use of materials with high-VOC emissions.

• Green innovation practice (10%)

  It is essential for designers to specify materials and systems that simplify and reduce maintenance requirements; require less water, energy, and toxic chemicals and cleaners to maintain; and are cost-effective and reduce life-cycle costs.

COLOUR ELEMENT 30%

• Colour harmony (10%)

  Relationship of colours to one another that makes for a pleasing and unified arrangement.

• Colour coordination (10%)

  Coordination and balance of colours within the design concept.

• Colour innovation (10%)

  Inventive ideas and their implementation in colour matching to make the design concept prominent.

PLANNING & DESIGN 40%

• Space planning (10%)

  Planning and use of space within the design concept.

• Originality of design (10%)

  Innovativeness and originality of design.

• Aesthetics of design (10%)

  Impression of appearance, composition and aesthetics.

• Design statement (10%)

  Ability to produce an elaborate and clear design statement.
