19 Degree to which buildings are designed to be environmentally friendly with respect to energy efficiency, water consumption, waste production, indoor environmental quality, and implementation of NBS (unitless value).

21 Environmental design is a broad concept concerning the structural, design and systemic features of buildings defining their impact on their environment. It is related to the concept of green buildings, which refers to environmentally sustainable design, construction, operation, maintenance and end of life of buildings.

60 * The area is divided into buildings, groups of buildings or blocks that represent similar building stock, as seen suitable. Each component is assessed on its environmental design considering incorporated environmental design considering parameters listed in Table 1. The building(s) being assessed are scored from 0 to 1 with respect to each parameter.
61 * **Parameter: Energy efficiency**
62 * Methods to consider (examples):
63 ** Existing national energy efficiency rating - need to consider making comparable measurement over five cities
64 ** Survey on- Improved insulation/ Reflecting windows, Improved ventilation/ Heat exchangers in ventilation/Smart lighting, smart electronics/ Renewable electricity (solar/wind)/ Heat pumps
65 * Scoring: 0 points: No design incorporated / 0.5 points: some measures taken / 1 point: Good measures taken
66 * **Parameter: Indoor air quality **
67 * Methods to consider (examples):
68 ** Estimation of indoor air quality by using outdoor air quality: using the existing research on correlation between them
69 ** measurement on: Indoor air quality
70 * Scoring: 0 points: No design incorporated / 0.5 points: some measures taken / 1 point: Good measures taken
