What is the BERDE project type that refers to the whole building design and construction or operations?

• A. Berde - Buildings: Building
• B. Berde - Buildings: Tenants
• C. Berde - Districts
• D. Berde - Buildings: Common Areas

Answer: (A)

In BERDE, project types define the scope of what’s being certified. The option that refers to the entire structure—its design and construction or its ongoing operations—is Buildings: Building. This scope covers the whole building and how it performs as a single entity, across all systems and life-cycle stages. The other options target narrower areas: Tenants focuses on leased spaces within the building, Common Areas covers shared spaces, and Districts looks at multiple buildings in a district. So for a project evaluating the sustainability of the whole building, the correct choice is Buildings: Building.
