Essential documentation for green buildings in Nigeria 
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

Building “Green” in Nigeria goes beyond using sustainable materials and energy-efficient systems; it requires precise documentation to comply with local regulations, environmental standards, and requirements of green building certifications bodies.

This guide outlines the essential documentation needed from design to the construction and operation of a green building, ensuring long-term sustainability.

What is a Green Building? 

A green building is designed to minimize environmental impact, enhance energy efficiency, and promote occupant health. These buildings prioritize resource efficiency, waste reduction, energy and water conservation, and better indoor air quality. It also entails the practice of creating and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building’s life cycle from site selection to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and demolition. In Nigeria, where resource management is increasingly vital, adopting green practices is crucial for sustainable development.

  • Green Building Certification Renewal: Demonstrates the building’s commitment to sustainability and helps maintain certification.

6. Green Building Certification Documents 

  • Comprehensive documentation, including pre-construction, design, performance data, and post-occupancy evaluations, is required to secure certifications like LEED, EDGE, or BREEAM.
