Green Rating is a new European rating tool that provides a reliable measurement for the environmental performance of existing buildings.
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.

Final rating: One overall score
6 objectives and tangible indicators Energy
Quantitative indicator expressed in kWh/m²/year of final energy use
Represents the energy needs of a building calculated with dynamic and calibrated modelling.
Carbon
Quantitative indicator expressed in kg CO2 eq/m²
Represents the level of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from building energy use.
Water
Quantitative indicator expressed in cubic meters /m² per year
Represents a property’s water consumption.
Transport
Qualitative indicator on a scale of 1 to 9
Mainly based on access to public transport and provisions within the vicinity of the building.
Well-being
Qualitative indicator on a scale of 1 to 9
Based on the quality of a property’s indoor environment (air quality, noise, natural light, comfort).
Waste
Qualitative indicator on a scale of 1 to 9
Based on a building’s capacity for waste sorting and related operational practices.
