Green Building Rating Systems
The environmental assessment field has matured remarkably quickly since the introduction of BREEAM in the
UK in the early nineties, and the interim period has witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of building
environmental assessment systems worldwide.
Comparisons between different rating
systems are not straight forward. There is no independent authority collecting data
from certification activities.
The level of transparency among the
schemes is not equal. There is a need for harmonized definitions, data collection
methodologies, and independently verified
data.
We are going to highlight the key features and d i f ferences among var ious
environmental assessment methods in the
FM Blog of this month.

The key features and differences among various environmental assessment methods are summarized in the following table.

The BEAM scheme was established in 1996 and published tow assessment methods, one for ‘new’ and one for ‘existing’ office buildings. The contents of these two assessment methods were largely based on the UK Building Research Establishment’s BREEAM.

approval of the Council, the Institute has laid down the CPD requirements for its members.
In brief, all members (including fellows) and associates should complete a minimum of 20 hours per year
on a mandatory basis starting from 1 July 2014. The CPD may come under 3 categories: (1) education
