- Abstract:
The background to and feedback from the UK team on the Green Building Challenge process in the UK is provided along with a commentary on the future development of the environmental assessment of buildings. Unique amongst the GBC national teams, the UK team chose buildings that had undergone post-occupancy evaluation. As a consequence, buildings were evaluated on their design, construction and operation phases. This additional information on actual rather than predicted performance provides a number of important lessons for the environmental assessment of buildings. Future expectations for the development of GBC from the UK perspective include providing proper credit for design features such as low-energy passive cooling and daylighting, modifying the assessment weighting system to provide more reliable comparison or benchmarking between design solutions, providing a practical international assessment method for comparison or benchmarking, incorporating post-occupancy evaluation to validate assessment methods and tools. Ease of use is important and GBC could usefully be simplified to consider the point of application in design, post-design certification and post-occupancy. Environmental assessment of buildings in the future must evolve within a wider context of local Agenda 21 sustainable development criteria.
