What Is BESS and How Can It Benefit Your Projects?
The Built Environment Sustainability Scorecard (BESS) is an assessment tool created by Victorian local governments through CASBE (Council Alliance for a Sustainable Built Environment). It evaluates Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) at the planning permit stage for residential, non-residential, and mixed-use projects. By measuring energy efficiency, indoor environment quality (IEQ), and more, BESS ensures your proposed development meets sustainability requirements while helping developers, architects and building designers and refine design at the planning phase.
