Still
following the issue on the link above check text below of a recent paper:
“Disruptive technologies are prevalent in the modern…
Green building rating tools are ripe for this type of disruption and companies
like Tether (www.tetherme.io) and uHoo (www.uhooair.com) are starting to operate in this space, both providing real-time, dynamic measures of
indoor environment quality. Is this the future of green building rating
tools? Will the old school industry professionals be displaced by young,
technology driven professionals using ‘tech’ to communicate green building
performance-directly with the end users? Certain founding fathers… believe this
is the case and are sounding a call to action for the reinvention of the green
building rating tools to
be performance-based, cost-effective, technology-based, dynamic, engage with
occupants and set absolute milestones.”
Also interesting on
this issue is the paper below published on the well-known journal Energy and
Buildings under the title “Buying limes but getting lemons:
Cost-benefit analysis of residential green buildings”:
“The temptation for green building councils to embellish and mislead
are therefore common across all countries with green building councils and
future research could determine if the finding of this study are replicated in
other countries”
