Sustainable Rating Systems
Overview
Sustainable Rating Systems benefit project owners, stakeholders and the community. These systems offer valuable tools for project assessment, planning and design, even for those who do not wish to formally certify their projects. Rating system tools focus attention on project goals and means and methods, while providing a framework for project teams to define “sustainability” and link their project’s solutions to the context of sustainability.
There are many rating systems around the world — some general to buildings or infrastructure; some specific to highways or healthcare projects. All can be beneficial, but it is important to have a thorough understanding of where and when each system is applicable.
Benefits to using sustainability rating systems include: ° Enhances the design process ° Provides economic benefits ° Reduces risk ° Adds a competitive advantage ° Increases accountability ° Improves quality of life ° Offers recognition
