Commonalities in Neighborhood Ranking Systems

Organisational structure • Comes out of a building level certification • Ratings are ranked through some sort of point system • Independent/Organisational review • Application costs associated with various phases of certification • Location-specific in most cases • Common considerations (themes & criteria)

Common themes • Transportation and mobility • Community life/neighborhood dynamics • Impact on the natural environment • Economic development (some) • Use of innovation (some) • Governance(some) • Design (some)

General Comparisons

While LEED ND is the oldest system, they were all launched within the past 10 years. Order of maturity: LEED, HQE, BREEAM, DGNB, Casbee, Green Star (pilot stage)

LEED, DGNB, Casbee focus on projects starting in the design phase; HQE is the only system beginning at project conception (certification of preliminary phases)

LEED, BREEAM and DGNB offer intermediate phases for pre-certification (in recognition of being on the right track, and marketing purposes)

LEED is only system to allow retroactive certification (up to 3 years after completion)

HQE and Green Star are only systems without prerequisites Green Star and Casbee are the only certifications that expire on 5

year cycles, with an option to renew

9

Key Assessment Comparisons

• The schemes "with criteria" have on average 5 themes/40 criteria. Common themes: Economy - Governance - Environment/Health - Technical/Infrastructure/Transportation/Mobility - Process/Design

• HQE and Casbee have no prerequisites: the most "inclusive" systems

• LEED and BREEAM are the schemes which have the most "filters" (12 prerequisites)

• BREEAM and Green Star offer an optional "bonus" category specifically for "Innovation"

• LEED also has an "Innovation" category and is the only one to offer a "Regional Priority" theme

• Casbee is the most technical system, and heavily based on criteria specific to Japan’s urban context

• LEED, BREEAM and Casbee are the only ones with a system for weighting, depending on the priority themes for projects

• LEED, BREEAM and Green Star offer accreditation for professionals. The LEED and Green Star schemes offer extra points when an accredited professional is present.
