BOMA BEST (Building Owners and Managers Association Building Environmental Standards) focuses specifically on existing building operations and management. This certification is ideal for retrofit projects and ongoing building performance optimization.

ENERGY STAR certification emphasizes energy performance, making it particularly valuable for buildings where energy efficiency is the primary sustainability goal. The program offers clear benchmarking against similar building types.

Passive House certification represents the most rigorous energy performance standard, requiring buildings to use 60-70% less energy than conventional construction. This approach prioritizes superior insulation, air tightness, and heat recovery systems.

Living Building Challenge certification goes beyond traditional green building by requiring buildings to give back more than they take. Projects must generate their own energy, capture and treat all water, and use only safe, non-toxic materials.
WELL Building Standard focuses on human health and wellness within buildings, addressing air quality, water quality, lighting, fitness, comfort, and mind. This certification is particularly valuable for office buildings and healthcare facilities.

URBKON helps clients navigate these certification options to select the framework that best aligns with their sustainability goals, budget, and timeline while maximizing long-term value and performance.
