1. Management
Management category focuses
on the sustainable processes and
practices for the effective
management of the design,
construction and operations of
projects. Management promotes

promotes the effective site selection,
the mindful use of land, and the
reduced negative impact of
construction and operations on the
natural environment and local ecology.
3. Energy
•Energy category focuses on managing,
reducing, or eliminating the excessive use of
energy in the project. The planning and
implementation of energy efficiency and
conservation strategies, as well as the utilization
of on-site or off-site renewable energy, should
result in a significant reduction from the
project's overall energy consumption.
4. Water
•Water category focuses on effective
management and reduction of the overall water
demand for the project. The efficient use of
potable water and the effective management of
wastewater in projects lessen their
environmental impact, and provides the project
team with economic benefits through potential
savings and decreased demand for water supply.
5. Waste
•Waste category focuses on the proper
management of solid waste to reduce waste
generated in the project and divert waste from
landfills. Effective waste management at the
source lessens the need for waste
infrastructure, lessens financial burden in
managing solid waste, and reduces the negative
impact of projects to water, air, and land
resources.
6. Materials
•Materials focuses on the procurement
and use of materials that have less
environmental impact. The use of green
materials cuts across various positive
benefits including improving indoor
environment quality, reducing burden on
natural resources, and reducing waste
generation.

the adoption of sustainable
transportation strategies to reduce the
traffic congestion in the project and its
vicinity, and to mitigate the negative
environmental impacts attributed to
vehicle travel.
8. Health and
Well being

of emissions in a project and its
contribution to global warming
and climate change.
10. Community
