Abstract: This paper examines the influence of regulatory frameworks on the success of green building projects in Singapore. By analyzing the Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) Green Mark Scheme and other related regulations, the study highlights how these frameworks have shaped the environmental sustainability practices within the construction industry. Through a mix of qualitative interviews with industry professionals and quantitative analysis of building performance data, the research demonstrates that regulatory frameworks not only enhance environmental outcomes but also drive innovation in building technologies and practices. The findings suggest that while these regulations have led to significant improvements in energy efficiency and resource management, challenges such as high compliance costs and the need for continuous professional development remain. The paper concludes with recommendations for evolving these frameworks to better support sustainable development in Singapore’s urban landscape.
