Résumé : This paper develops an analysis of the potential and challenges of the European Commission Level(s) framework for assessing and reporting on the sustainability of buildings. Building upon the feedback from the beta version launched in 2018 – and tested in a wide variety of projects across several countries – a marketready version is announced for mid-2020. This initiative aims to provide transparency and a harmonised reference to the market where multiple certification and rating approaches are available but of limited and complex application. The framework is intended to facilitate the mainstream implementation of sustainable practices in the building sector, making emphasis in the full life cycle of buildings and embracing health and wellness aspects, costs, resilience and adaptability to future conditions. How certification schemes can align with this framework is considered in detail. The implications of its use in the overall building process are evaluated as well. Finally, this study seeks to highlight points of attention for the evolution of Level(s). This latter task is done taking into account its potential for supporting the value-appraisal of green buildings, allowing to ease and secure investment, e.g. green-mortgage type financing, and hence market uptake.
