MULTICRITERIAL SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS

Technological and Economic Development of Economy, 2009
A simple method for the assessment of sustainability of a residential building is proposed. The method consists of two steps. First, areas that influence sustainability level of the building (e.g. building architecture, design, in‐built materials) are identified. For each area, several elements and corresponding indicators are determined.
