- Abstract:
The construction and property sector has seen the development of a number of methods for evaluating the 'greenness' of buildings in the 1990s -both for new designs and existing buildings. These range from very detailed life-cycle assessment methods, which account for all the embodied and operational environmental impacts of building materials, to higher level environmental impact assessment methods, which evaluate the broader implications of the building's impact on the environment. In between these two are environmental assessment methods such as BREEAM, BEPAC, LEED, and GBA. In this paper, we discuss the potential market applications of these systems and compare and contrast several of the major environmental assessment methods.
