Green building movements are thriving in many countries, with significant effect on education and construction practices. Innovative approaches to residential design, such as passive and net-zero homes, are recasting the way design is conceived, with the intention to reduce to minimum the environmental footprint of dwellings. In addition to national building codes, which established minimum requirements for energy performance, the new standards address other criteria for a higher level of efficiency. In recent decades agencies and rating systems have been established to foster greater environmental awareness and streamline evaluation criteria. Some of the more established ones are BREEAM (originally from building research establishment environmental assessment method) in the United Kingdom, the HQE (Haute Qualité Environnementale) standard in France, and Green Star from the Green Building Council in Australia. Other notable institutions include the Passivhaus Institut in Germany and the World Green Building Council, which is a union of national councils. The US Green Building Council (USGBC) is the nation’s leader in the promotion of environmental responsibility. The agency established the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, which became a nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high-performance green buildings. The method has also been extended to Canada. It includes ratings for new construction, existing buildings, interiors, and schools, as well as homes
