Wednesday, 31 July 2024, Singapore – UnaBiz, Massive Internet of Things service provider and integrator, has recently clinched the 3-ticks Excellent rating under the Singapore Green Building Product (SGPB) certification scheme for two of its devices, the UBG301 – a Ammonia, Temperature, and Humidity Sensor (SGBP 5352) and the UBV350 – a bi-directional People Counter (SGBP 5353) used primarily in Building and Facilities Management applications.
These new devices have additional certification for Detect, Feedback, Eliminate, Clean (DFEC) features for Smart Washrooms to support asset and property owners looking to score a 5-star rating under the Happy Toilet Programme (HTP) by the Restroom Association of Singapore, a grading scheme supported by the National Environment Agency to raise the standard of public toilets.
UnaBiz’s range of DFEC-certified People Counters, Ammonia Sensors and Feedback Tablet can support asset and property owners looking to score a 5-star rating in the HTP when they adopt at least two of the four types of DFEC solutions.
- Detect: People Counter and Ammonia Sensors, etc.
- Feedback: Interactive Feedback Tablet
- Eliminate: Anti-stain Material or Self-Cleaning Protective Coatings, etc.
- Clean: Self-powered Taps, Fast-drying Hand Dryers, etc.
This latest achievement brings UnaBiz Singapore’s total count of SGBP-certified devices under the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC)’s Smart Sensors category to an impressive eleven certifications and underscores UnaBiz Singapore’s dedication to sustainability in the field of green building solutions.
SGBP certification is one of the key standards and benchmarks for green building products in the building and construction industry. It helps advance the built environment to one that is greener and more carbon-efficient while facilitating sustainable procurement of green building products.
It comprises a rigorous 8-step certification process and benchmarking to ensure that sustainability is integrated from design to manufacturing to end-of-life device management.
Calvin Foo, Director of Ecosystem of UnaBiz Singapore, remarked “This accolade shows our commitment to promoting sustainability in the built environment and smart washrooms. Our partners and customers can select from our range of 11 devices for indoor air quality and environmental monitoring to best meet their needs.”

About Singapore Green Building Product (SGBP) Certification
The SGBP certification scheme is a stringent benchmark for green building products in Singapore, complementing the Singapore Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) Green Mark Scheme.
SGBC assesses products based on their environmental impact throughout their life cycle, making SGBP-certified products a sustainable option for Smart Facilities Management solutions. Using them can help achieve higher Green Mark ratings by accumulating points towards the project’s rating.
In addition, devices with Public Hygiene Sensor certification for Detect, Feedback, Eliminate, Clean (DFEC) features for Smart Washrooms under the Happy Toilet Programme can help asset and property owners achieve a premium star rating.
SGBP certification is also widely accepted by regional green building rating tools for its coverage of a product’s sustainability performance. E.g. Rating tools of Malaysia’s Real Estate & Housing Development Association (REHDA)’s GreenRE, as well as Vietnam’s Green Building Council’s LOTUS.
