Abstract

Seeks to provide practical solutions to the issues, indicators and benchmarks for sustainable building performance. Aims to equip designers, developers and occupants with the tools and techniques they need to deliver better buildings. Provides a way to ‘close the loop’ of the building design process, enabling a more holistic approach to what is currently a fragmented development system, and also suggests ways to achieve sustainable building performance standards in the UK.
