Environmental performance assessment tool for municipalities (CASBEE-City) has been developed and upgraded since 2008. The tool automatically queries the database and extracts the necessary data for conducting the nationwide municipality assessment. The tool also incorporates GIS functionality and enables tool users to understand the conditions, strengths, and weaknesses of their municipalities in comparison with other municipalities in Japan by visualizing the assessment results on easy-to-understand maps.
