A ROADMAP FOR CREATING BUILDING ENERGY RATING SYSTEMS IN CENTRAL ASIA

A brief roadmap which gives information and definitions on various energy rating systems and certificates across the world.
Building energy certification and rating systems provide a standardized way to evaluate and compare energy use, energy efficiency, and energy costs in buildings. The primary purpose of such systems is to give owners, tenants, and other market stakeholders a convenient, non-technical way to distinguish among efficient and inefficient buildings, and to quantify the value of these differences. Rating systems are often linked to labeling programs, in which efficient buildings can receive special public recognition.
