Requirements and criteria for designing an initial sustainable and green building rating system in Iran.

The initial phase of this project was based on research conducted by Dr. S. M. Amin Hosseini at the Iran University of Science and Technology in February 2019. This research was funded by the Science and Technology Department as part of a collaboration between Iranian experts and entrepreneurs abroad at the Iran University of Science and Technology.

The Iran Sustainable Built Environment Certificate System (ISBECS) is an assessment tool that objectively examines the environmental, economic, and social impacts of building and construction projects throughout their life cycles using various methodological bases. This initial version of ISBECS is designed for residential buildings in the construction phase in Tehran.
