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.

61 * 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.
62 * **Parameter: The age of the building**
63 * Methods to consider (examples):
64 ** Existing information of the age of the buildings from the municipality
65 * Scoring: TBC
66 * **Parameter: Energy efficiency**
67 * Methods to consider (examples):
68 ** Existing national energy efficiency rating - need to consider making comparable measurements over five cities
69 ** Survey on- Improved insulation/ Reflecting windows, Improved ventilation/ Heat exchangers in ventilation/Smart lighting, smart electronics/ Renewable electricity (solar/wind)/ Heat pumps
70 * Scoring: 0 points: No design incorporated / 0.5 points: some measures taken / 1 point: Good measures taken
71 * **Parameter: Indoor air quality **
72 * Methods to consider (examples):
73 ** Estimation of indoor air quality by using outdoor air quality: using the existing research on the correlation between them
74 ** measurement on: Indoor air quality
75 * Scoring: 0 points: No design incorporated / 0.5 points: some measures taken / 1 point: Good measures taken
