GREEN BUILDING CONSULTING SERVICES
WHAT IS GREEN BUILDING?
Green buildings are buildings designed to minimize environmental impact, save energy and optimize resources. They use sustainable materials and energy-saving technologies, to create healthy living spaces and improve the quality of life.
PURPOSE OF GREEN BUILDINGS
Save energy and costs
Applying advanced technology and smart design helps green buildings optimize energy use, minimize electricity – water costs and building maintenance during operation.
Improving public health
Using safe materials and natural light, optimal ventilation systems create healthy and comfortable living spaces.
Increase the value of resources and investment
Extend the operating life and use of resources, become a high-quality asset in the long term, attract high investment value.
Supporting sustainable development
As an important part of sustainable development, contributing to the balance between economic development, environmental protection and social welfare.
Prevent climate change
Reducing emissions and energy consumption makes green buildings an essential solution in dealing with climate change.
Strengthening multi-sector connections
Green buildings not only focus on environmental factors but also promote social cohesion, creating a multi-disciplinary network of experts

VILANDCO’S GREEN BUILDING CONSULTING SERVICES
Green Building Certification Consulting
LEED is the green building rating system of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), and is the most widely used green building rating system in Vietnam and the rest of the world.
LEED is applicable to all types of buildings and phases of construction, including new or renovated buildings, existing buildings, interior spaces, zoning, single dwellings, or low-rise apartment and housing projects.
Certification levels include: Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum
LOTUS is a green building rating system by the Vietnam Green Building Council (VGBC). LOTUS was developed based on the green building evaluation system of other countries, with added criteria to suit the climate and market conditions, as well as the technical standards of Vietnam.
LOTUS spans almost all building types and project scopes, including new constructions, existing buildings, interior spaces, and small-scale projects.
Certification levels include: Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum
EDGE is a project evaluation system of IFC, a member of the World Bank Group.
EDGE is a quantitative tool that helps projects optimize design and increase profits, while minimizing harm to the environment.
EDGE focuses on energy, water, and materials. It is applicable to all building types, such as new construction — from renovation to operating works.
Certification levels include: Certified, Advanced, and Zero Carbon
BCA GREEN MARK is the green building rating system of the Singapore Ministry of Construction; Building and Construction Authority (BCA).
Green Mark assesses the environmental impact and performance of a building. It includes all kinds of new constructions, such as works in operation, interior space projects, urban projects, and more.
Certification levels include: Gold, Gold Plus, and Platinum
Energy efficiency solutions
Consulting for energy efficiency works at the design & operation stage: consulting services on evaluating and analyzing design and operation documents based on the requirements of the National Technical Regulation on construction works building energy efficiency — QCVN 09:2017/BXD.
Energy and cost optimization consulting: provides optimal advice on cost benefits, based on the energy consumption in the building. Simulation-based assessment and analysis of parameters based on design and operational profiles, risk analysis in simulation output based on inaccuracies in specific inputs. Sensitivity analysis reports on design variables that have a large/small impact on the main simulation results of the building. Offer options to help choose the optimal design, operation, and cost.
Green Building Information Modeling Consulting — Green BIM: this is an application of BIM to provide data for energy performance and sustainability assessments. Green BIM also includes the application of Building Energy Modeling (BEM) and involves energy optimization to improve the energy efficiency of buildings along with sustainable design and construction practices throughout the building’s life circle.
Consulting for Acceptance – Test (CxA): this is an activity to ensure that the project is operating in accordance with the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR). It is an effective method to improve the performance of the system and equipment within the building. Properly-accepted buildings typically have fewer operational errors, are more energy efficient, and generally have lower operating and maintenance costs.
Post-Operation Evaluation Consultancy (POE): this is an activity necessary to evaluate the performance of a user’s post-commissioning facility, provide solutions to improve, and support productivity and health for project users.
