Different Sustainable Assessment Methods Compared: A New Approach Is Needed
There is a strong need for more efficient and more sustainable buildings. At present it is difficult to define the performance of buildings in an objective way to efficiency and sustainability. Considering what makes a good sustainable building, results in multiple interpretations based on the different background, training and experiences of the people who answer the question about how good a building is. Dutch and German buildings were compared to select buildings to use for the comparison of the four most popular sustainable building assessment tools in the Netherlands: Greencalc+, Ecological Footprint, BREEAM and LEED. These sustainable assessment tools were thoroughly compared with each other and it was determined in which extent the assessment methods lead to differences in outcome in regard to the sustainability of the buildings evaluated. For design however a new approach is needed based on the criteria of some of the current sustainability assessment tools but applied in a decision support framework for the design process.
