NEW BUILDING (NB)
Built for Better Performance from the Start
GREENSHIP New Building (NB) is a green building rating tool developed by Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI) to assess the sustainability of new building projects, with a focus on design and construction.
The rating tool encourages project teams to integrate sustainability considerations from the early planning stages through construction. By evaluating a project against defined criteria, GREENSHIP NB provides a structured framework for assessing building performance and recognizing project efforts to create a more sustainable built environment.
Make Sustainability Part of the Design
GREENSHIP New Building helps project teams turn sustainability goals into practical project decisions, from planning and design through construction.
- Identify opportunities to improve energy and water efficiency, material use, and indoor environmental quality
- Align sustainability strategies with project objectives and building requirements
- Integrate green building measures from the early design stage
- Track project progress against defined GREENSHIP criteria
- Demonstrate building performance through structured assessment and third-party verification
- Communicate sustainability achievements to owners, occupants, and stakeholders
