Where does the certification process come from?
The LEED certification process developed by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) is the most widespread procedure in the world with a high level of acceptance among users and on the international property markets. In certification, buildings are scored using an extensive system of points. The LEED certificate can issued in the grades “Certified”, “Silver”, “Gold” and “Platinum”. The system allows an objective assessment of sustainability criteria on a scientific basis.
Assessment criteria:
One or more properties are assessed on the basis on eight areas:
- 1. Infrastructural integration of the location
- 2. Property qualities
- 3. Water efficiency
- 4. Energy & global environmental impact
- 5. Materials cycles & resource conservation
- 6. Indoor air quality
- 7. Innovations
- 8. Bonuses for criteria particularly significant to the location
