This follows the recent LEED Gold certifications awarded for the Hong Kong Head Office, and Noida laboratory in India as well as the most recent LEED Platinum awarded for Sri Lanka laboratory within the Bureau Veritas Group, the company said in its press release.
This award is the latest LEED achievement for Singapore laboratory to be certified at Gold within the Consumer Products Services division of Bureau Veritas. Being a major laboratory in Singapore, the laboratory is staffed with over 70 employees and occupies more than 16,000 square feet supporting the testing needs of textile, apparel, garments, and hard goods manufacturers and exporters.

Bureau Veritas excelled in many of the categories including full marks in terms of water efficiency, green power, lighting power, equipment & appliances, and enhanced commissioning. Other successes were in the design and verification of thermal heating as well as the use of low-emitting materials such as adhesives and sealants, paints, coatings and flooring systems.
