It is recommended that Valencia measures and reports these two KPIs and, if needed, invests in
sustainability assessments and certifications and ICT-based integrated building management systems
for its public buildings.

Optimizing building services: Valencia should also consider implementing Recommendation ITU-T
L.1370 ‘Sustainable and Intelligent Building Services’. This Recommendation sets the minimal
requirements for the efficient and sustainable management of the building as a unit. It also defines
the services enabled by the sustainable and intelligent building (SIB) concept, the way it contributes
to the goals of sustainability, its features, its possible functioning modes, and its internal architecture
and requirements with the IoT node at its core.

Furthermore, it is also recommended that Valencia keep apprised of the ITU-T Study Group 5:
‘Environment, Climate Change and Circular Economy’ upcoming Draft Recommendation ITU-T L.SP_OB:
‘A methodology for improving, assessing and scoring the sustainability performance of office buildings’,
which will provide a framework to critically assess ten key areas of environmental performance and
management: Energy; Water; Air; Comfort; Health and Wellness; Purchasing; Custodial; Waste; Site;
and Stakeholders.
