The Green Rating TM assessments are carried out by carefully selected, accredited and trained consultants from reputed audit firms who perform an efficient third party evaluation of the building.
4 Levels of performance1 - Intrinsic: evaluated according to the building envelope and installation as originally built.
2 - Potential Intrinsic: predicted performance versus intrinsic value after limited investments.
3 - Actual: assessed based on current occupants and operations.
4 - Potential Actual: potential for evolution based on behavioural improvements and operational adjustments.
