ITU-T Recommendations

Recommendation ITU-T L.1371 provides a consistent framework for building owners, managers and operators to critically assess, score and improve the sustainability performance of office buildings in 10 key areas: energy; water; air; comfort; health and wellness; purchasing; custodial; waste; site; and stakeholders.
The framework described in Recommendation ITU-T L.1371 provides a set of concrete and measurable steps to reduce environmental impacts, and specifically greenhouse gas emissions, of existing office buildings, thus contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 11 "Sustainable cities and communities –s Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable".
The annex to Recommendation ITU-T L.1371 specifies an assessment scoring methodology to allow owners and managers to undertake a self-assessment to evaluate their building's current status and track progress going forward.
