Since environmental assessment methods have started to spread, there has also been a need for comparable standards. The numerous certification systems that have spread in recent years are like a lens on these issues and the desire to find an objective method to assess if and to what extent the performance and functionality of buildings are achieved with the minimum negative environmental impact. In addition to living comfort, which must be guaranteed to those who use the building, it is also necessary to assess the impact that the property has on the social context. The social aspect is focused on the end user, considered not only as an individual, but as a community. In construction, the principles of sustainability must take into account three main aspects: the environmental, economic and social aspects.įrom an environmental point of view, it is necessary to assess the impact of the construction activity, the use of the building, the employed materials and resources, both locally and globally.įrom an economic point of view, the long-term costs and benefits of the operations and materials relative to construction must be considered, as well as those resulting from the use of the building itself.
The purpose of a green building is to ensure living comfort for the occupants, while minimising the use of resources and environmental impacts in general. LEED and BREEAM use a qualitative approach, whereby the level of sustainability is determined by the sum of points assigned to predefined requirements, referring to specific environmental aspects.
