Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI) is a non-profit organization, which mission is to promote environmentally-friendly buildings in Indonesia. This organization, headed by Madam Naning Adiwoso, has been actively educating Indonesiaās developers and architects, to better understand and apply design elements, material choice, and construction process, which minimize the environmental impact during the projectās construction as well as throughout its operations, and to attain the most efficient use of energy.

Starting from April 23, 2013, according to DKI Jakarta Governor decree No. 38/2012 on green buildings, all projects of certain sizes located in Jakarta has to be assessed with Greenship scoring system. Example of buildings that fall into this category:
GBCIās Greenshhip assessment system has actually been introduced in 2012,and now is formally made into a formal requirement. The higher the score, the higher the rating bestowed upon the project.
Ratings for GREENSHIP (Version 1.1) | Final Assesment (FA) stage: | |
Design Recognition (DR) stage: | ||
Platinum | Minimum percentage 73% 56 points | Minimum percentage 73% 74 points |
Gold | Minimum percentage 57% 33 points | Minimum percentage 57% 58 points |
Silver | Minimum percentage 46% 35 points | Minimum percentage 46% 47 points |
Bronze | Minimum percentage 35% 27 points | Minimum percentage 35% 35 points |
The higher the rating, the more incentive that the government can offer, ranging from land and building tax (PBB) as well as streamlining of building permit application. On top of this, the building can be marketed more attractively, and it is the future trend that environmentally-friendly and energy efficient buildings are becoming more desirable. Market awareness of environmental issues has become more acute, and the cost of fuel and electricity is going up.
āSince regulation is in effect starting 23 April [2013], building permits are only given after a proposed project fulfill the criteria of green buildingā

Greenlisting Indonesia Volume 2, published by Green Building Council Indonesia this April, list a slew of environmentally-responsible building materials. The use of these products contribute to ensuring a project qualifies as green building. For details on Greenship criteria, please download here: http://www.gbcindonesia.org/
Greenlisting Vol.2
The use of b-panelĀ®, holistically combined with other planned elements and building materials, such as thermally insulated windows and door seals, solar water heating, and systematic waste water treatment system, will ensure a commendable Greenship rating. The following are some of the criteria and details on how b-panelĀ® fulfills these criteria:
Details: all raw materials for b-panelĀ® manufacturing are sourced within Indonesian territory*, and within 1000 km from the factory
Rating potential: 2 points
(*Exception is imported carbon-graphite EPS used in b-panelĀ® Neo)
From the above factors, the application of b-panelĀ® can significantly add to Greenship assessment points, to provide the highest Greenship score to projects that utilize it.
āGreen building is expensive? While the initial investment can be 2% higher, but if properly designed, a 20% savings can be realized throughout its constructionā
