* Description
A quick guide to the international environmental classification schemes, written in an intelligible way. Target groups are real estate owners and all persons who want to know more about the building certification systems.

In total, the book describes thirteen certification systems of which four are only covered very briefly. The authors believe that this book will be used primarily for orientation purposes and as a basis for helping to decide which system to use.

This book discusses six environmental and three purely energy-based certification systems along with fourth briefly discussed certification systems: the British BREEAM Assessment Method, the US LEED Rating System, the German DGNB Certification System, the Australian Green Star Rating System, the Swedish Miljöbyggnad system and the French HQE system; the European Green Building Programme, the Swiss Minergie Building Standard and the German Passive House (Passivhaus) Standard; the Japanese CASBEE assessment system, the Indian IGBC rating system, the US ENERGY STAR program and the French Effinergie system.
