The European Commission has established a voluntary reporting framework to increase the sustainability performance of buildings. The Level(s) framework uses indicators to link individual building impact with European sustainability priorities. The framework is designed for use by developers, investors, building designers, construction management, facilities managers, asset managers and building occupants.

The Level(s) framework is currently in pilot stage and is available for testing by companies, associations and public authorities. Key stakeholders in the construction sector have been invited to a full day workshop in Brussels on 4 December. The workshop will mark the beginning of the testing period for the framework.

The framework was established with broad industry and public sector consultation and is supported by a series of four explanatory videos. The framework aims to raise awareness and demand for more sustainable buildings and to improve the resource efficiency understanding of the built environment.
