Abstract: In line with current sustainability aims, in 2018 the European Commission launched Level(s), as a common framework for assessing the sustainability performance of buildings, unifying the European construction sector. In the last decades, several Green Building Rating Systems (GBRSs) have been broadly developed to promote buildings’ sustainability, bringing new challenges and opportunities for building-related participants. Although Level(s) was not conceived as a rating system, the construction sector will have to meet its criteria in the long run. Level(s) testers agree on the necessity to check its combability with local and international standards and methods.
