Research and Markets has introduced its latest report titled “Guide to Green Building Rating Systems: Understanding LEED, Green Globes, Energy Star, the National Green Building Standard, and More”. This report serves as a one-stop guide for selecting a suitable green building rating system.
For residential and commercial building owners, builders, designers as well as architects, sustainability is a matter of growing concern. Thus, meeting the needs of a rating system offers a metric to compute and establish priorities as well. However, assessing the eco-friendliness of buildings can seem quite overwhelming because of the complexity and variety of methods available.
Therefore, this report comes as a boon for informing readers about the selection process involved in rating systems while providing comparisons on essential issues, namely, building performance, ease of use and cost for finding the best possible rating system. This book proves to be an essential reference for sustainable building practices.
