Level(s) offers an extensively tested system for measuring and supporting improvements, from design to end of life. It can be applied to residential buildings or offices.

Support for the Level(s) community
Level(s) uses core sustainability indicators to measure carbon, materials, water, health, comfort and climate change impacts throughout a building’s full life cycle. It is a flexible solution for identifying sustainability hotspots and for future-proofing your project or portfolio. By using Level(s) you are contributing to EU policy goals to strengthen the sustainability of Europe’s buildings, which are responsible for:
- 1/2 of all extracted materials
- 1/2 of total energy consumption
- 1/3 of water consumption
- 1/3 of waste generation.
Level(s) is open source and freely available to all. Check out our quick introduction to begin your journey into Level(s).
