GBC Framework

GBTool V 1.81

This is a tool for researchers involved in the Green Building Challenge (GBC)

process, and is not intended for direct application by end users. However, members

GBT 2k2 V1.81 of national GBC teams are free to convert the tool into a system for end users. Such

conversion will involve establishing or adjusting the default weights, assessment

July 2002 criteria, emission and cost criteria to be relevant to local conditions. Persons testing or

using this system are urged to submit their comments to the GBC Secretariat so that

we may improve the system in the future.







GBTool is intended to be used for the assessment of potential energy and environmental

performance of buildings. The GBC process is managed by iiSBE, the International Initiative for a

Sustainable Built Environment .

GBTool provides approximate assessments of a broad range of potential environmental performance

parameters, all related to performance benchmarks that are relevant to the region and building

occupancy. Although GBTool performs various internal calculations, it is primarily designed to act as a

framework for scoring and weighting, using data generated in external models to perform detailed

studies.



In GBTool, scores are assigned in a range of -2 to +5, where:

- 2 and -1 are levels of performance below the acceptable level in your region, for occupancies specified;

0 is the minimum level of acceptable performance in your region for occupancies specified;

3 is Best Practise; and

5 is the best technically achievable, without consideration of cost.

The 0 or Benchmark values are assigned in the Bmark worksheet, plus a few +5 Benchmark (or "Best")

values for energy performance.

The performance scores for the Design are assigned in the Assess worksheet.



There are four levels of parameters included in the system, including in descending order of generality,

Issues, Categories, Criteria and Sub-Criteria. The Issues and Category parameters are voted on by team

members in the Vote worksheet, but the two lowest levels are assigned automatically (see the Weight

worksheet). Scores are multiplied by the weights and the weighted scores are shown in the Results

worksheet.



GBTool can handle both new building and renovation projects. Please note that, in the re-use of an

existing structure to serve as part or all of a new building, the description of the new building in the Area

worksheet (floors, areas, volumes etc.), includes the existing re-used structure in Block 1. However, the

other worksheets which describe the Design (Arch, Tech, Matrl) treats old and new in an integrated way.

Features and

GBTool looks pretty scary at first glance, mainly because we have built in many options (up to 4 blocks,

up to 4 occupancies etc.) If you want to hide some of the things you don't need, go to the Views

menu, then to the Custom Views sub-menu, and pick a more manageable version. In doing this,

the data do not disappear, but are only hidden. To see everything, use the "All shown" option. Note that

printing formats are based on the "All shown" setting, and result in 103 pages. Printing the

Benchmarking option only results in 27 pg., the Assessment option results in 52 pg., and the Designer 2

blocks and 3 occupancies requires 49 pg. of printout.







GBTool is implemented in Excel 2000, but on our site (http://iisbe.org) you will also find an Excel 97

version. In preparing the Excel 97 version, an error message was generated, stating that one error was

generated in the conversion, but the message did not specify which cell was affected. This is probably

not a major issue. As you move from one level of detail to another in the Assess worksheet, you will also

come across an error message stating that a formula contains an invalid reference to an external

worksheet. Despite a standing offer (since 1997) of a prize, nobody has been able to identify the source

of this spurious message.

ID occupancy types in the building (up to four).





The following worksheets should be completed by a team that does NOT include persons who are linked to the design or

persons who are undertaking the assessment.



Cntxt (Context) is meant to characterize the micro-urban neighbourhood so that assessors have an

understanding of relevant local issues. This information is needed to establish meaningful weights and may

also inform the establishment of benchmarks. For example, an area that is characterized in C30 or C31 as

Cntxt having a shortage of water may lead the assessor to set a low benchmark for water consumption (see Bmark

B80-B91)





The Vote worksheet allows GBC teams to set the weights that are appropriate for their regions for the two top

levels of parameters used in GBTool: Issues and Categories. Our approach to setting weights makes a clear

distinction between the very general Issue areas and the more specific Categories. GBC takes the position

that Issue areas are so broad as to be inherently subjective; whereas more objective means, such as national

data, may be used to establish Categories within each Issue area. GBTool therefore provides defaults for

Issues, but allows teams to change these and to indicate what basis they used for their decision.

Vote For Categories, up to 12 persons may enter votes, which are then averaged and sent to the Weight

worksheet. The basis for voting should be related to appropriate skills; e.g., the Categories for Indoor

Environmental Quality should be voted on by persons having extensive knowledge in these areas. Mauritz

Glaumann of Sweden is developing a more rational basis for assigning weights which may be adopted in the

next version.







This worksheet provides users with tables to enter emission values for fuels and electricity production relevant

Engen to their regions. The results, based on fuel mixes for base loads, are used to determine emissions due to

energy consumption, which are shown in the Report worksheet.





The Bmark worksheet is designed to allow the entry of benchmark performance values that are appropriate to

the region and occupancy types included in the building. Benchmarks in GBTool are the basis for assigning

scores for performance of the Design, so they are of considerable importance. In GBTool, benchmarks are set

as the minimum acceptable industry norm or regulation that is applicable. In some case this is easy, because

Bmark a regulation exists; but in other cases a panel may have to be assembled to develop a benchmark. In all

cases, the intent is to provide a meaningful comparison for performance values of the Design.









20 River Terrace, Battery Park City, V1, New York City, USA, Introduction

The following worksheets are intended to be completed by a team of persons who are knowledgeable about the design.



Data on number of stories, functional area requirements, gross areas, net areas, wall areas and glazing area

and characteristics are entered in this worksheet. These data are used for many subsequent calculations in

other worksheets and must be completed. A specific example is the relative areas of various occupancy

Area types, which influence several weights at the Criterion and Sub-Criterion level in the Weight worksheet. Note

that the worksheet allows for up to four separate blocks to be designated, which is useful in the case of larger

building complexes.





The Archworksheet permits user entry of the basic occupancies in the building, as well as descriptions of a

number of other architectural features and elements. Up to four occupancies can be specified in a single

project. Multi-unit Residential is designated as either being present or absent, and up to three other

Arch occupancy types can then be specified freely by the user. The specific occupancies specified then become

headings for data entry in the Bmark worksheet.







The Techworksheet provides space for the characterization of technical systems in the building, including

Tech HVAC, lighting and control systems. It also provides entries for energy consumption.





The Matl (Material) worksheet provides a table to capture weight and volume data on some major groups of

Matrl materials. It also allows estimates to be made of the percentage of these material groups that conform to

various environmental requirements.



The Ops worksheet is intended to describe various features related to the future operation and management

Ops of the building.



The LCC (Life-cycle Costing)worksheet is only partially complete. The intent is to provide a full basis for the

LCC calculation of life-cycle costing, but data on replacement materials and components is not yet available. As it

stands, the worksheet provides a crude indication of life-cycle cost.



The Trrnsprt (Tansport) sheet is under development. When complete, it will provide inputs and algorithms to

Trnsprt allow a crude estimate to be made of the commuting transport that is likely to be generated by the building.







The Assess worksheet is intended to be completed by a team of persons who have reviewed all other worksheets and who

The Assess worksheet is intended to be completed by a team of persons who have reviewed all other worksheets and who

have the skills required to assess various specialized aspects of building performance, but who are ot associated with the

Design. The other worksheets (Rprt, Weight and Result) require no user input.



Rprt (Report) provides users with a summary report on a variety of building characteristics and performance

Rprt data. Note that many results are normalized by occupancy. There are no user-modifiable fields.



The Weight worksheet is one of the key worksheets in the system. Weighting values for Issues and

Categories are transferred from the Vote worksheet, and weights for Criteria and Sub-criteria are also shown.

Except for some comment spaces, there are no user-modifiable fields in this worksheet. Many of the weights

Weight for Criteria and Sub-criteria are developed through the use of formulae that take into account relative areas of

occupancies or mechanically-cooled space. Others are determined by total building size or presence of

Radon, ambient noise characteristics etc. All are annotated.





This is the key worksheet in the whole system. It contains scoring fields for all parameters in the system, and

then weights these scores according to the weights assigned in the Vote and Weight worksheets. Some are

calculated automatically and are shown in grey. The yellow scoring boxes require the intervention of team

members to pass judgement, since they are not amenable to calculation. Enough information should be

Assess available in the Context, Arch and Tech worksheets to be able to assign a meaningful score. It should be

noted that any parameters that have been weighted at 0 do not require a score to be assigned. Also note that

the worksheet can be viewed at any of four levels of detail (boxes at upper left hand corner)





The final worksheet in the series shows results of the assessments made, via scores and weights. There are

two types of results shown: Environmental Sustainability Indicators (ESI), which are absolute numbers; and

Result barcharts that show weighted scores (-2 to +5) relative to the benchmarks (0).
