Service scope

How we support the project

Practical consulting workstreams that help owners, designers and operators move from target setting to usable evidence.

Rating pathway confirmation

Confirm the selected GREENSL pathway, project boundary, applicable criteria and review milestones.

Criteria mapping

Translate selected criteria into design actions, owner decisions, consultant inputs and contractor evidence.

Sustainable design coordination

Coordinate energy, water, site, materials, indoor environment and operation strategies.

Evidence control

Set a documentation matrix so each criterion has an owner, proof type and deadline.

Review coordination

Coordinate clarifications, missing evidence and comment responses with the project team.

Checklist

What to prepare before we begin

Early project information helps the team confirm feasibility, focus the right strategies and reduce rework during documentation.

  1. 01

    Selected rating criteria

    Provide the target rating path and criteria list before detailed documentation starts.

  2. 02

    Design drawings and specifications

    Drawings, specifications and calculations are the base evidence for most criteria.

  3. 03

    Site and environmental strategy

    Landscape, heat island, water, ecology and site-management information help support local criteria.

  4. 04

    Product and material data

    Product certificates, technical sheets and sourcing information support material-related evidence.

  5. 05

    Responsibility matrix

    Identify who prepares, checks and submits evidence for each criterion.

FAQ

Common questions

What is GREENSL Certification support?

It is support for planning, gap assessment, evidence preparation and review coordination for projects pursuing the selected GREENSL certification pathway.

When should GREENSL planning begin?

Begin as early as possible so project goals, design decisions, documentation responsibilities and review schedule can be coordinated without rework.

What documents are usually needed?

Common documents include drawings, specifications, calculations, operation plans, product data, photos, policies and records that demonstrate the selected criteria.

Can GREENSL be coordinated with other certifications?

Yes. Many sustainability criteria overlap with green building, energy, water, materials and indoor environmental quality topics, so a shared evidence plan can reduce duplicate work.
