Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB) ratings apply to new construction and major renovation in three markets: Commercial, Multifamily and Single Family. An AEGB rating evaluates the sustainability of participating buildings on a scale of one to five stars (five stars being the best rating) in the areas of energy efficiency, water efficiency, materials, site, indoor environmental quality, community impact and innovation. AEGB updates rating requirements periodically to stay ahead of advancing building codes and to spur best practices in the building industry.
