Abstract

A Green Building Council has been established aiming to introduce, adapt and manage an international certification scheme for sustainable buildings in Denmark. It was therefore decided to test BREEAM, DGNB, HQE and LEED on two new Danish office buildings to gain knowledge of how well the buildings were performing, of the extent to which the required documentation existed or could be obtained, of the resources needed for certification, and of the extent to which the criteria fits into a Danish context. Information on these issues is presented together with information on the influence on the total life cycle costs and on the current situation in Denmark.
