The system incorporates metrics developed by various organizations in the building sciences industry, including ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers) and ICC (International Codes Council). RESNET ensures guidelines keep pace with ever improving knowledge on the topic of comfort and energy efficiency in occupied spaces.

Providing guidance about how to maintain the health of the indoor atmosphere is a part of every rating.
