Living Building Challenge certification (most stringent and holistic approach, covers regenerative design, more than energy & water efficiency, it also covers social & cultural impact, aesthetics, land use) 3. Passive House Institute certification for highly focus energy efficient buildings. Least amount of energy for heating/cooling, insulation, air tight construction, windows. 4.
