The attached Memorandum of Understanding was signed this morning between BREEAM, LEED, Green Star and the UK Green Building Council in London, England at the EcoBuild ‘09 conference. The MOU’s key objective is to map and develop common metrics to measure emissions of CO2 equivalents from new homes and buildings.
Building rating tools are a key component in the market for green building around the world, but there has been a growing demand for consistency and comparability between the tools, particularly with regards to the way they account for carbon emissions.
A working group formed of representatives from each of the rating tools will develop the metrics, and seek to align the tools and provide consistency in measurement and reporting. Please see the attached media announcement.
