QUESTION

How many GRESB points can I earn using the BOMA BEST Smart certification?

A BOMA BEST Smart certification counts as partial minus points with GRESB and uses a weight of 0.3. The table below illustrates that four years after a certification issuance, only 30% of the points are attainable, and after 5 years, the credit becomes ineligible for any points.

 

Note: GRESB considers the certification year as Year 0 post-certification while BOMA BEST would consider this as Year 1 within the recertification cycle. As such, if buildings move to a 4-year recertification cycle with BOMA BEST, then full points can always be achieved for this credit with GRESB. When the building is due for BOMA BEST verification in its 4th year, this will be 3 years post certification in the GRESB system.
