LEED® Building Design and Certification

Technical services for the design, certification and maintenance of buildings complying with the requirements of the international protocol LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for green buildings. Buildings designed following such standards respond to a concept of sustainability which is broader that the simple energy [...]

BREEAM® Building Design and Certification

Technical services for the design, certification and maintenance of buildings complying with the requirements of the international protocol BREEAM® (Building Research Establishment's Environmental Assessment Method) for sustainable buildings. Also this protocol, created in the U.K. even before the LEED®, interprets sustainability [...]

"PASSIVE HOUSE" Buildings Design and Certification

Technical services for the design, certification and management of buildings complying with the German protocol Passive House for high-efficiency buildings. Such buildings, certifiable under the Passive House Institute in Germany, are characterized by extremely high levels of energy efficiency and internal comfort up to the so-called [...]

WELL® Building Design and Certification

Technical services for the design and certification of buildings complying with the WELL® reference standard. The WELL® reference standard was developed to certify the quality and usability of buildings in relationship with the internal comfort the user’s wellbeing, the way the building is used and managed. The building is [...]

Sustainability for Infrastructures - The ENVISION Protocol

The ENVISION™ rating system ENVISION™ is the result of a strategic alliance and collaboration of several American organizations, including the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI), a non-profit organization and Zofnass Programme, at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design (Cambridge, Massachusetts) [...]

Commissioning Authority Services

Technical services for the development commissioning processes throughout the design and/or the construction process of the building. Commissioning is the process that ensures a facility and its systems are designed, installed, tested, operated, and maintained to perform as the design intended. This is achieved by implementing and [...]

Life Cycle Assessment

Within the construction field the level of “sustainability” is generally measured by looking at buildings. However, all details and information related to every single construction product are needed in order to evaluate the construction as a whole. Such data focus on the whole product life-cycle and analyze all kinds of impacts on [...]

Energy Modeling

The energy modeling represents a key-aspect of the building design as it is the only available tool to estimate the quantity of energy that the building will consume after its completion allowing architects and engineers to optimize the building features during the early design stage. Depending on the building location energy simulations are [...]

Lighting Simulation

The lighting conditions under which will operate the building users represent a key-aspect for the interior environmental quality. The sustainability protocols currently in-use try to increase  the use natural illumination because, apart from the eventual energy savings, the artificial light has a much lower frequency compared with the sun [...]

Building Performance Monitoring Services & Smart Metering

How do our buildings really perform? We believe that the only real answer to the question is… testing. Numerical analysis and computer simulations can give us a sense of the building performance during the design phase however real values of complex systems where human activities take place constantly can only be measured on-site after [...]

Acoustical Simulation and Design

The acoustic simulation is the process that allows us to recreate in a virtual reality the principles of physics under which the sound is generated, spread and absorbed during a certain lapse of time within a specific area or fence. This lets us understand the acoustical behavior of a certain space, open or closed, prior to its construction and [...]

Regular or Steel-Reinforced Laminated Wood Structures

Architectural and engineering services for the design and development of wood buildings and major structures in regular or steel-reinforced laminated wood. Timber is considered a strategic material for the development of sustainable buildings because, if harvested and manufactured under certain criteria (1), it represents a renewable raw [...]

Environmental and Energy Management Services

GBF, through its international partners, provides high-performance energy services for new and existing buildings in facility design, operation, and commissioning. Our experience allows us to accurately evaluate the best solutions to optimize existing buildings and proposed designs. We provide technical expertise and support for energy cost [...]

Validation and Certification of Products and Services

GBF, through its partners, offers the following services related to projects validation and products certification:   EPD validation, Environmental Product Declaration according to ISO 14025 standard  and Environmental Statements according to the UNI EN ISO 14021 standard; “Make it Sustainable” [...]
