Commissioning (Cx) is the process of verifying and documenting that a building and all of
its systems and assemblies are planned, designed, installed, tested, operated and maintained
to meet the owner’s project requirements.
To reduce the environmental and economic harms of excessive energy use by achieving a
minimum level of energy efficiency for the building and its systems.
Energy performance of new buildings should be at least 5% better than ASHRAE 90.1 2010
requirements.

EPD
Transparency comes from publishing an
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD),
which is a standardized way of quantifying
the environmental impact of a product or
system.
CSR
Corporate sustainability reports (CSRs) help to
identify products/manufacturer’s that
have been verified to be extracted or sourced
in a responsible manner.
HPD
Health Product Declaration (HPDs) provide a
full disclosure of the potential chemicals
of concern in products by comparing product
ingredients to a wide variety of “hazard”
lists published by government authorities and
scientific associations.

08 Daylighting
To connect building occupants with the outdoors, reinforce circadian rhythms, and reduce the
use of electrical lighting by introducing daylight into the space through simulation software or
measurements.

08 Quality Views
To give building occupants a connection to the natural outdoor environment.
