Many countries have introduced new rating tools over the past
few years in order to improve the knowledge about the level of
sustainability in each country’s building stock.
On one hand, it can be argued that the individual characteristics
of each country, such as the climate and type of building stock,
necessitate an individual sustainability rating tool for that
country.
The downside is that to varying degrees the rating tools for
different countries are constructed on different parameters.

to define “Ecological

Summary of green building rating and
certification systems
** Building and Construction Authority (BCA)
**Building Environment Assessment Method BEAM
**Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM)
**Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency
LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the
most widely used green building rating system in the world.
Available for virtually all building, community and home project
types, LEED provides a framework to create healthy, highly efficient
and cost-saving green buildings. LEED certification is a globally
recognized symbol of sustainability achievement.
BD+C Building Design and Construction:
Applies to buildings that are being newly constructed or
going through a major renovation; includes New
Construction, Core & Shell, Schools, Retail, Hospitality, Data
Centers, Warehouses & Distribution Centers, and Healthcare.
ID+C Interior Design and Construction:
Applies to projects that are a complete interior fit-out;
includes Commercial Interiors, Retail and Hospitality.
O+M Building Operations and Maintenance:
Applies to existing buildings that are undergoing
improvement work or little to no construction; includes
Existing Buildings, Schools, Retail, Hospitality, Data Centers, and
Warehouses & Distribution Centers..
ND Neighborhood Development:
Applies to new land development projects or redevelopment
projects containing residential uses, nonresidential uses, or
a mix. Projects can be at any stage of the development process,
from conceptual planning to construction; includes Plan and Built
Project.
Homes:
Applies to single family homes, low-rise multi-family (one to
three stories), or mid-rise multi-family (four to six
stories); includes Homes and Multifamily Low-rise and
Multifamily Midrise.
