1. Why transparency is a prerequisite for sustainability
Without transparency, sustainability claims cannot be verified. Transparency shifts the focus from belief to evidence.

2. Transparency versus formal disclosure
Formal disclosure emphasizes reports and communication. Real transparency emphasizes operational data, performance results, and long-term impact.

3. Accountability across project stakeholders
Accountability is shared among owners, designers, contractors, and operators throughout the building lifecycle.

4. Transparency as a risk management tool
Clear documentation and performance tracking enable early risk identification and timely intervention.

5. Transparency and Life Cycle Cost (LCC)
Transparency reveals hidden costs related to maintenance, repairs, and downtime that are often overlooked during initial decisions.

6. Accountability in material and solution selection
Material and technical choices must carry responsibility for long-term performance—not just initial price advantages.

7. Transparency to prevent greenwashing
Lack of transparency enables greenwashing. Data-driven transparency protects credibility and stakeholder trust.
