			These cases are described based on assessment results obtained using 
CASBEE.
			CASBEE is a method for rating the environmental performance of buildings using 
			Building Environmental Efficiency (BEE) as an indicator, which is based on the results of 
			separate scores obtained for Q-1~Q-3 (Quality) and LR-1~LR-3 (Load Reduction).
