BOMA BEST Module
The BOMA BEST module is an integral part of Stream, Brightly’s energy and sustainability management solution. The module simplifies the process of answering the BOMA BEST Sustainable Certification questionnaire by integrating directly with the BOMA BEST Hub.
What is BOMA BEST
BOMA BEST is a North American program that certifies the environmental performance and management of existing commercial buildings. Developed by BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association) Canada, it's one of the leading standards for sustainable building management in Canada and is rapidly expanding in the US.
BOMA BEST helps building owners and managers assess, improve, and certify the environmental performance of their buildings. It provides a framework for best practices in energy, water, waste, emissions, indoor environment, tenant engagement and building management practices.
Levels of Certification: Buildings are assessed across various criteria and can achieve different levels of certification (e.g., Certified, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum), indicating their level of environmental and operational performance.
Achieving BOMA BEST certification demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility, can lead to operational efficiencies (e.g., lower utility costs), enhance property value, attract environmentally conscious tenants, and improve a building's public image.
