At GreenRenter we recognize that not all buildings were created equal. That's why we developed our own scoring system for green buildings. The GreenRenter Score provides a snapshot of a building's sustainability using a scale of 1 to 5, the higher the number the greener the building.

This score takes into account a building's green features, its location and the breadth and innovativeness of the measures employed. A building's GreenRenter Score is intended to help potential renters quickly compare buildings and to give owners taking the extra step the recognition they deserve. Remember, each building is unique. The building with the highest score may not be the one that best meets a tenant's needs.

What does a building's score signify?

5 - Wow - this building is OTT (over the top)! It's one of the greenest buildings on GreenRenter and has likely won awards in its region. If it hasn't, it should.

4 - A score to be proud of! This building is comprehensive in its approach to sustainability.

3 - Yes! This one's way greener than a conventional building and a good effort by the owner and management team. They've implemented several green features and probably see great potential for more.

2 - Caution - greening in progress! This owner's taken the plunge so check back - there's probably more green upgrades on the way.

1 - Just getting started! This building's few green features got it listed but there's lots more to do.
