3- MODULES
The rating of your building starts with the criteria identification and validation within our 5 Modules representing the five elements of Nature.
Our First Module Site, representing Cosmos, the 1st element of Nature, is based on the space element of the site, the module focuses on the surrounding environment and cycles of nature around the building.
The Second Module Materials, representing Earth, the 2nd element of Nature, roams around the raw materials, their use, and their regenerating production which is mainly focused and dedicated to a circular economy, hence, benefiting from that raw material even after consumption.
Going on through materials and resources, Water, the Third Module, is a crucial resource to conserve, which we will preserve by focusing on many recycling and preservation techniques.
Our Fourth Module Wellness, representing Air, the 4th element of Nature, responds to the occupants’ wellbeing, by creating a healthy environment to work, visit and live.
Finally, our climate call will be answered through our Fifth Module Energy, representing Fire, the 5th element of Nature, targets a net-zero energy status by implementing energy conservation measures, using energy efficient equipment and integrating renewable energy systems.
4- ONLINE EVALUATION
After understanding the module and confirming that your building can benefit from our certification, now comes time for your online evaluation.
This evaluation could be run through by your staff while we advise, for optimal results, reaching out to our Experts to assist you through it.
The Online Evaluation will go through the procedure mentioned below:
