FMT311: You are a Green Mark Accredited Professional (GMAP) and Work for a Facilities Management Company: Green Building Assessment Standards Assignment, SUSS, Singapore

Case scenario

You are a Green Mark Accredited Professional (GMAP) and work for a facilities management company. Your organisation manages an office building located within the central region of Singapore. This building was completed 15 years ago. After completion, the building was occupied by multiple tenants and did not upgrade its systems or retrofit the façade.
