The different AEGB programs (single-family, multifamily and commercial) have similar
- yet distinct - procedures under which a rating is earned. The differences in these
processes reflect the differences in building types and the differences in professional
need that each program covers.
Beginning October 2010 all AEGB projects will be rated using a web-based online system
developed to facilitate the management of said projects. This online platform allows
the rating process to be tailored to the requirements of each of the three programs.
The process flow for each program is unique to that program.
Certain City of Austin ordinances and programs (for example, the S.M.A.R.T. Housing
Program) mandate that a particular AEGB star rating be achieved. In addition, an AEGB
rating can be required of projects located in defined areas of the city. Since every
project will have its own, unique set of characteristics, each project is responsible
for determining what requirements it must meet.
To begin the ratings process, participants will need to register and set up a participant
profile within the online system:
