Green building certification reports
A certification is a building's health assessment. MyUrbanFarm turns your building's data into the evidence 17 certification and reporting systems ask for: drafted by AI, reviewed by our sustainability specialists, and ready for you to submit.
Answer a few questions. No account needed.
We produce the report you submit. We are not a certifying body.

The dream behind it
It breathes air in and out, drinks water, draws power, holds hundreds of people through their working lives and shapes the block around it. Most buildings have never had a check-up.
We picture cities where every rooftop, terrace and courtyard gives more than it takes. Fresh food grown steps from the desk. Shade where there was heat. Pollinators where there was gravel. Neighbours who know each other because they harvested together. Buildings that are healthy for the planet, healthy for the people inside them, and honest about both.
Green-building certification is how that dream becomes measurable. An independent body checks measured evidence against a published standard, awards a result, and shows what to improve next.
You cannot make better what you have not measured. Certification is the measurement. Our reports are how you get there.
Who we are
MicroHabitat designs, installs and runs farms on the rooftops, terraces and courtyards of commercial buildings. Our certification reports turn what those farms grow, and everything else your building measures, into evidence you can submit.

Why owners certify
Tenants promised their employees a healthy workplace and their shareholders a net-zero date.
Investors promised their limited partners a benchmark.
Cities promised their residents cleaner air, and now publish building grades.
Every one of those promises is kept or broken inside a building, and the certificate is the proof that it was kept.
Certified space rents for more, sells for more, leases faster, borrows more easily and stays ahead of regulation. People and capital move toward buildings that are visibly good for them, and a certification is how that goodness becomes visible.
The three pillars of a healthy building
Each certification measures one or more of them, which is why a complete picture of a building's health usually takes more than one certificate.
01Sustainability
Healthy for the planet
What the farm brings
A vegetated roof that cools the building, slows stormwater, restores habitat and turns organic waste into living soil on site.
02Responsibility
Healthy for people
What the farm brings
Fresh food at the door, time outdoors, a reason to gather, and a story every tenant tells.
03Transparency
Honest about both
What the farm brings
A living dataset refreshed every season: harvest weights, greened area, diversion tonnage, participation.
Find out which pillars your building can already prove.

What a healthy building returns
It shows up in capital values, in what investors score and in where tenants choose to lease.
20.6%
higher capital values for BREEAM-certified Central London offices
Found by JLL across 592 deals. Separately, CBRE found LEED-certified US offices keep a 3.7% rent premium after controlling for age, size, renovation and location. Uncertified buildings increasingly carry a brown discount.

The rules are catching up
Cities, countries and the certifications themselves are raising the bar, and they all run on measured data.
The evidence a certification requires is the same dataset these rules demand.
What grows on the building has become scored evidence.

How it works
You supply the measured inputs. We do the drafting, the review and the assembly.
Answer a few questions about location, asset type and portfolio, and we show the certifications your building can pursue.
Your measured data: energy model, metered utilities, site surveys, policies. We never fabricate a measured number.
Every credit's requirement, threshold and recommended approach is drafted in minutes, then reviewed line by line by our sustainability specialists.
An audit-ready, credit-by-credit package you submit to the certifying authority, who reviews it and awards the level.
We pinpoint every gap to the threshold and recommend the fixes that make the building certifiable. An on-site farm is the living evidence many of those credits are built from, and installing one is what MicroHabitat does.
Two ways to start
A fixed-price report on your farm and green-space evidence.
The whole scorecard for a single building.
Both are submission-ready and reviewed by our sustainability specialists.
Answer a few questions. No account needed.
Who does what
Share your measured data and submit the report under your own project account.
Drafts every credit with AI, has our specialists review it, and delivers the submission-ready report.
Reviews the submission and awards the level.
BREEAM and DGNB are submitted by a licensed assessor or auditor, and BOMA BEST includes on-site verification by a professional BOMA assigns. For those systems, our report is the evidence they work from.
We produce the report you submit. The certifying authority reviews it and awards the level. We are not a certifying body and do not guarantee certification. Point values are indicative and validated against each authority's current manual before quoting.
Questions
No. We produce the report you submit. The certifying authority reviews it and awards the level, and we do not guarantee certification.
No. Certifying bodies certify buildings, not consultants, and your submission is made under your own project account. Three systems put a licensed professional in the chain: BREEAM and DGNB are submitted by a licensed assessor or auditor, and BOMA BEST includes on-site verification. For those, our report is the evidence they work from.
Seventeen: LEED, WELL, BREEAM, GRESB, BOMA BEST, Fitwel and Green Globes, plus the Living Building Challenge, SITES, TRUE Zero Waste, DGNB, HQE, Green Star, Green Mark, CSRD, TNFD and Scope 3.
Measured data only: your energy model, metered utilities, site surveys and policies. If a number was not measured, we do not invent it.
Your report shows every gap to the threshold and the fixes that would make the building certifiable. Many of those credits are built on an on-site farm, which MicroHabitat installs.
