The comparative analysis of Building Certification Schemes and standards conducted via analytical tools (Power BI) provided an intricate understanding of sustainability indicators’ distribution and coverage. Out of 2,056 total instances across 51 documents, Certifications accounted for approximately 66%, whereas Standards constituted around 34%. The number of instances indicates that Certifications usually encompass a higher quantity of indicators in comparison to Standards. Nevertheless, it’s vital to interpret these statistics recognizing that they indicate quantity, not necessarily the extent or completeness of each scheme. Upon dissecting the indicators into 15 defined categories, distinct patterns emerged. The “Materials and Products” category was predominant in Certifications, while the “Social and Economic” category led in Standards. Interestingly, Standards took precedence in “Social and Economic,” “Climate Change,” and “Occupant Health and Safety” categories, indicating their specific emphasis. Further insights revealed the “Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emission” indicator as unanimously prominent across both groupings, emphasizing global concerns over climate change.
