dc.descriptionThis guidance document presents a framework for improving environmental performance of office premises through structured selection and establishment processes. It is grounded in system-wide sustainability targets and highlights the significant contribution of buildings to emissions, resource consumption, and environmental impacts. The scope focuses on pre-occupancy stages and physical building characteristics that influence long-term performance. It defines performance levels, evaluation steps, and benchmarking approaches to support decision-making. Technical guidance is provided across key areas including energy, waste, water, health, biodiversity, and procurement. The document also outlines implementation procedures, comparative analysis methods, and monitoring mechanisms to ensure consistent tracking and alignment with organisational sustainability objectives. en
