Zero Carbon
Zero Carbon certification is the globally respected third-party certified standard by International Living Future Institute. The certification highlights a global focus on reducing carbon emissions while designing energy-efficient buildings, in which operations could be verified to account for their carbon emissions. Buildings require to demonstrate actual net zero carbon operations of the building, based on a twelve-month performance period, during which time the building must be occupied. One hundred percent of the operational energy must be offset by new or off-site renewable energy, and the embodied carbon emissions must be disclosed and offset.
LEED
LEED certification by U.S. Green Building Council stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. It is one of the widely used green building rating systems globally. It is available for all building types and provides a framework for healthy and energy-efficient green buildings. LEED certification is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement and leadership. Buildings and homes are awarded up to 110 points, based on the level of sustainable strategies achieved – from basic sustainable design to a framework that consumes the least amount of energy possible. The more points achieved, the higher the level of LEED certification the building receives.
WELL
WELL building certification, by the International WELL Building Institute, is a performance-based health rating system for measuring, monitoring, and certifying features of the built environment that impact health and wellbeing through ten core concepts, such as air, water, nourishment, light, movement, thermal comfort, sound, materials, mind, and community. It includes strategies and scientific research that aim to advance health by setting performance standards during the design stage implementation of operational protocols and policies that foster healthy culture and well-being. The standard draws expertise from users, medical professionals, public health experts, and building scientists.
Living Building
The Living Building Challenge is a globally respected third-party certified standard by ILFI. LBC is the most rigorous sustainability benchmark in the built environment and is considered the GOLD standard from all widely known certification models. Living Buildings are designed with a regenerative approach in mind. LBC is organized into 7 petals, restoring a healthy interrelationship with nature with beauty and biophilia in mind. LBC buildings operate within the water balance of a given location and climate environment rely only on renewable energy and use safe, red-list-free products to optimize health and well-being while supporting the social dimension of sustainability.
