Agenda:

This 1.5-hour workshop introduces two recently launched pathways designed to standardize audits and reduce documentation for large-scale developments. Participants will learn how these schemes use sampling to certify many similar buildings or units based on a few representative audits, significantly speeding up the process and potentially reducing costs.

I. Introduction to New Certification Schemes

II. Portfolio Certification Workflow (Commercial & Industrial)
– Designed for clients with shared ownership of multiple non-residential buildings.
– Case study: Multi-branch retail bank in México.

III. Tract Housing Workflow (Residential Developments)
– Specifically tailored for residential projects such as single-family homes, villas, or townhouses.
– Case study: Large housing developer in México.

IV. Identifying Suitable Projects & Best Practices
– Clustering Logic
– Suggested naming conventions
– Other lessons learned, and best practices.

VI. Conclusions and Q&A
