Summary: In this module, we will critically review sustainability assessment certification based on gathered evidence from last decades. Whereas LEED and BREEAM assessment methods are comprehensive, and energy is just one of multiple aspects of the certification, PASSIVE House is focused in energy and envelope optimization among other variables to consider in design. Other schemes for green building certification that are not widely adopted are also introduced. Building resilience against green design and sustainability is examined, as both approaches and orientations could conflict.
