There is also a set of core credits that can be applied for, in case if
the building wishes to go in for ‘Core only’ assessment for building
performance.
BREEAM major categories of criteria for Design and
Procurement
• Management (commissioning period and process adopted, monitoring of
commissioning, energy use in site activities, waste management, pollution
minimization)
• Health and comfort (adequate ventilation, humidification, presence of
controllable blinds, energy efficient lighting, thermal and visual comfort, low noise
levels)
• Energy (sub-metering)
• Transport (modes of transport to and from site, alternative transport
facilities)
• Water (consumption reduction, metering, leak detection)
• Materials (asbestos mitigation, storage facilities, reuse of structures,
specifications of envelope, use of crushed aggregate and sustainable timber)
• Land use (previously used land, use of re mediated contaminated land)
• Ecology (land with low ecological value or minimal change in value,
maintaining major ecological systems on the land, minimization of biodiversity
impacts)
• Pollution (leak detection systems, on-site treatments, local or renewable
energy sources, light pollution design, avoid use of ozone depleting and global
warming substances)
Successful International Rating Programs: CASBEE
•Comprehensive Assessment System for Building Environmental Efficiency
(CASBEE) was developed in Japan, in 2001.
•The family of assessment tools is based on the building’s life cycle: pre-design,
new construction, existing buildings, and renovation.
• Under CASBEE there are two spaces, internal and external, divided by the
hypothetical boundary, which is defined by the site boundary and other elements,
with two factors related to the two spaces, in which the
‘Negative aspects of environmental impact which go beyond the
hypothetical enclosed space to the outside (the public property)’
‘Improving living amenity for the building users’ are considered side by
side.
Successful International Rating Programs: GBTool
• GBTool was developed by the International Framework Committee
for the Green Building Challenge, an international project that has
involved more than 25 countries since 1998.
• GBTool is designed to be adapted by sponsors to reflect regional
conditions and context.
It includes criteria in categories :
Site Selection,
Project Planning and
Development;
Environmental Loadings;
Energy and Resource Consumption;
Indoor Environmental Quality
Functionality;
Long-Term Performance; and
Social and Economic Aspects.
• Criteria are assessed using scales that are based on local benchmarks
of ‘typical’ practice;
• Buildings can score –1 if below typical practice or from +1 to +5,
representing good to very high performance. All criteria must be
attempted.
GBTool Major Categories of Criteria
• Energy consumption is assessed through
Total use of non-renewable energy (embodied and operational),
Electrical demand,
Usage of renewable energy,
Commissioning.
• Resource consumption is assessed through
Materials use (salvaged, recycled, bio-based and sustainably harvested, locally
produced, designed for disassembly, re-use, or recycling)
Water use for irrigation,
Building systems
Occupant use
• Environmental loadings include
GHG emissions,
other atmospheric emissions,
solid wastes
storm water
waste water
site impacts
other local and regional impacts.
Successful International Rating Programs: LEED
• Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) was
developed and piloted in the US in 1998 as a consensus-based
building rating system based on the use of existing building
technology.
• The Indian Green Building Council has adapted LEED system and
has launched LEED India version for rating of new construction.
• GRIHA has been conceived by TERI and developed jointly with the Ministry of
New and Renewable Energy, Government of India. It is a green building 'design
evaluation system', and is suitable for all kinds of buildings in different climatic
zones of the country.
• ADARSH promotes GRIHA as a design & evaluation tool for Green Buildings and
Habitats.
