- 22. Are the requirements in LEVEL(s) easy to understand and to fulfil? Do we have all information already available or does the framework require additional data collection / calculations? In particular, how do the LEVEL(s)’ requirements position versus current requirements in regulations and major labelling schemes? How do our 4 Multi Comfort buildings profile with LEVEL(s)?

- 32. Looking for mainstreaming sustainability • Today, regulations focus mainly on energy … it is not enough anymore, we need to go BEYOND! • Holistic approach encompassing all « key sustainability topics » is the direction Knauf Insulation wants to promote • Sustainability, a direction indicated since long by green buildings rating schemes, but with Level(s) we are looking at: • Harmonization => common assessment methods & reporting system • Adaptation to local situations => flexible and accessible tool for all, priorities and targets set locally • Mainstreaming => applied to all buildings through national initiatives The development of Level(s) by the EU Commission with the support of all stakeholders is a unique opportunity Knauf Insulation supports & promotes.

The pilot project, description • New construction (office) in Slovenia • Experience - Training Center, open to public • Promotion of local systems & solutions (partners) • First DGNB certified building in Slovenia (Platinum) • BIM project • Construction started in Oct 2017, completed in Nov 2018
- 34. The pilot test project, initial objectives • Testing Level(s) indicators, assessment method, process, cost, and reporting to EU Com. • Level(s) as a reporting tool in parallel to DGNB Core 14. Evolution with DGNB 2018 • In collaboration with Slovenia GBC, support the Slovenian gvt. in developing longer term building regulations. • Organize a public workshop to boost green buildings development in Slovenia. “Level(s) initiative arrived at the perfect time to support the Slovenian Government in developing a national sustainability system for buildings, starting with office buildings.” Saša Galonja (28/11/17) Head of Construction Division Spatial planning, Construction and Housing Directorate Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning

Level(s) workshop, “mainstream” outcomes • Challenges • Sustainability, not mainstream => increased cost & market not ready to pay • Sustainability across the chain will be as strong as its weakest point … installers, suppliers … risk of sub optimized effort • Targeted incentives for different stakeholders (landlords, tenants …) • Avoid complex messages and/or tools • Possible solutions • Role of pioneering actors and critical mass • Importance of value creation and emotions => communication! • Role of public authorities, and local Green Building Council • Contribution of Level(s) • Opportunity for case studies and communication => demystification • Strong basis for Public Procurement • Simplified / harmonized concept of green building • Basis for national training program on sustainable buildings

- 42. Next steps & conclusions • To finalize assessment at level 1, consider level 2 & 3 for some indicators. Final comparison with DGNB. And report. • To continue supporting Slovenian Ministry in its effort to use Level(s) in regulations. • Organization of a workshop in 2019 to showcase in Slovenia application of Level(s) pilot projects in other countries. Level(s) has raised interest throughout Europe. Until now mostly technical aspects were considered, but it also started triggering political initiatives. In 2019, Level(s) needs to be put on the political map, and recognize as the future instrument to mainstream sustainability across Europe. Thank-you!
