Globally, green buliding rating systems are largely voluntary in ature and have been instrumental in raising awareness and popularizing green building designs. 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 ‘inimization) + Health and comfort (adequate ventilation, humidifeation, presence of controllable binds, energy efficient lighting, thermal and visual comfort, ow noize 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 faites, reuse of structures, specifiations 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 impacts) + Pollution (leak detection systems, onsite treatments local or renewable ‘energy sources, ight polltion design, void use of ozone depleting and global ‘warming substances) ‘minimization of biodiversitySuccessful International Rating Programs: CASBEE ‘Comprehensive Assessment System for Building Environmental Eficiency (CASBEE) was developed in Japan, in 2001, ‘The family of assessment tools i based on the building's life cycle pre-desien, new construction, existing buildings, and renovation. “CASBEE presents a new concept for assessment that distinguishes environmental load from environmental quality and building performance, + Under CASBEE there are two spaces, internal and external, divided by the hypothetical boundary, whichis defined by the site boundary and other elements, With two factors related tothe two spaces, in which the 1 ‘Negative aspects of environmental impact which go beyond the hypothetical enclosed space to the outside (the public property)’ 2 ‘Improving living amenity forthe building users’ are considered side by side.
