High Environmental Quality |
It is an international certification of sustainable construction developed from the French certification Démarche HQE (Haute Qualité Environnementale) and applied in Brazil exclusively by the Vanzolini Foundation. The evaluation of the Environmental Quality of the Building is made for each of the 14 categories of environmental concern. For an undertaking to be AQUA-HQE certified, the entrepreneur must achieve at least a performance profile with three categories at the BEST PRACTICE level, four categories at the GOOD PRACTICE level, and seven categories at the BASE level. |

Building Environmental Assessment Method |
HK-BEAM was one of the first schemes to be developed and launched in 1996 to guide the design and evaluation of the overall performance of new and existing buildings in Hong Kong. Since then, it has undergone several upgrades to reflect continued industry improvement, with the latest version, BEAM Plus (v1.2) released in July 2012 by the Hong Kong Green Construction Council (HKGBC). |

Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method |
BREEAM sets the standard for the best practices in sustainable building design and construction. Its main objectives are: 1- to mitigate the impacts of the life cycle of buildings on the environment; 2 - to allow buildings to be recognized according to their environmental benefits; 3 - to provide a credible environmental label for buildings; 4 - to stimulate demand for sustainable buildings. |

Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environmental Efficiency |
It is a method to evaluate and classify the environmental performance of buildings and the built environment. It is a comprehensive assessment of the quality of a building, assessing features such as interior comfort and scenic aesthetics, considering environmental practices that include the use of energy-saving materials or equipment that achieve lower environmental loads. |
