Many local governments require the CASBEE assessment when applying for a permit for construction of a new building(2004~). The number of local governments that require this is increasing. Disclosure of assessment results on websites of respective local governments The registered number of CASBEE assessment at local governments: 8,708 (as of March, 2012) 13 Shuzo Murakami, Institute for Building Environment and Energy Conservation

1.10 Certification system of CASBEE 1) Certification Certification of CASBEE ranking is given based on assessments by third-parties, designated by IBEC (quasi-governmental agency). This system is supported by MLIT.

2) Examiner-designation system (1) Lectures on CASBEE and examination for selecting examiners (2) Objective: to choose people who can perform reliable assessments (3) ・ Number of designated examiners : CASBEE-Buildings : about 6000, as of Nov, 2012. CASBEE-Homes : about 6200, as of Nov, 2012.

3.8 Importance of considering individual characteristics of Malaysia Present evaluation: Tentative assessment results for Putrajaya are slightly low at this stage. This is because CASBEE-City is specifically developed for assessing Japanese cities. It is not yet customized to Malaysian conditions for the environment, society and economy. Next stage evaluation: Assessment results are sure to be improved if assessment criteria are customized to Malaysian conditions. 39 Shuzo Murakami, Institute for Building Environment and Energy Conservation
