In addition, The Greenhouse attained three badges in Health and Well-being (Hw), Intelligence (In), and Maintainability (Mt), which signifies exemplary performance in these subjects and showcases EiM's commitment towards driving the sustainability agenda for today and the future. The Greenhouse isa net-zero energy, seven-storey state-of-the-art structure which will be launched later in the year. The building's net-zero energy achievement contributes to the Singapore Green Building Masterplan – a part of the broader Singapore Green Plan – which captures Singapore's collective commitment to pursue more ambitious sustainability standards in the Built Environment. This will also be the first new building and first international school in Singapore to receive the Green Mark Zero Energy certification under the latest Green Mark 2021 scheme, paving the way for even more education players to play their part in building a more sustainable future for all. EiM's aspiration for The Greenhouse was realised through its partnership with award-winning architectural firm DP Architects and its specialist arm in sustainable design, DP Sustainable Design (DPSD). Throughout The Greenhouse's architectural design, construction materials, and function, the building embodies EiM's "Live Worldwise" motto and EiM's vision to be the global leader in pioneering education for a sustainable future. Building a sustainable campus is also aligned with EiM's commitment to building a better future for all across its four ESG pillars – Learning, Planet, People, and Policy. Ms Karen Yung, Co-Founder and Chief Collaboration Officer at EiM, shared, "This is a prestigious award that we are proud to have attained for The Greenhouse. At EiM, we place the student at the heart of everything we do. We believe we have a responsibility and the ability to be part of the solution to the social and environmental challenges facing the planet today for this generation of children and future generations. With our global headquarters in Singapore, we are always looking for ways to support our local communities and be committed to achieving the Singapore Green Plan. As educators, we challenge our students to use their imagination, intellect and raise expectations in themselves. We hope The Greenhouse will inspire others to do just that so together we can drive a more sustainable future for the country." Mr Ang Kian Seng, Group Director of BCA's Environmental Sustainability Group, said, "The Greenhouse is the first new institutional building in Singapore to be certified Green Mark Platinum Zero Energy under the BCA Green Mark 2021. Through extensive on-site renewable energy installations, including both rooftop and building-integrated photovoltaics, it is one of a few buildings to attain Zero Energy solely based on on-site renewable energy production. Going beyond the Zero Energy requirements, The Greenhouse also utilises smart Facilities Management to ensure efficient operation and maintenance of the building, such as through using building analytics for predictive maintenance. As an educational institution, EiM demonstrates strong commitment to sustainability, energy efficiency, and occupant well-being, and is a good example that other international institutions can look towards." With a keen focus on providing innovative educational exposure for students to participate in sustainability solutioning to real-world issues, The Greenhouse features the following sustainable strategies:
