In the same way as electrical appliances are currently sold with an energy efficiency ratings, there are also ecolabels and energy standards to guide the buyer or manager of a building to show whether it consumes more or less energy throughout its life cycle.The book includes energy certification labeled case studies rated by six international curators: Green Star, LEED (The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), Passivhaus, MINERGIE, Effinergie and BREEAM (BRE Environment Assessment Method).
