Assessment Tools for The Sustainability Performance of Building - Development of A Sustainability Assessment Method for Small Residential Buildings in Germany
Several international and national instruments for the assessment of the sustainable building performance have been developed in the last years,such as BREEAM(Great Britain),LEED(USA)and DGNB or BNB(Germany).These methodologies have the same intent-advancement of the sustainable building performance.The focus of this systems are mostly commercial buildings,but also the sustainability rating of the residential sector is getting more and more important.The numbers of certifications with BREEAM,LEED or the Swiss Label Minergie are increasing constantly.In Germany however available systems to certify the sustainability of this type of buildings have so far not achieved widespread due to a complex list of criteria and the costly implementation.In regard that 2.9 million dwellings will be required by 2025 and that 115,000 owner-occupied detached and semi-detached houses are built up per year in Germany,a new assessment method(BNK system)for small residential houses was developed in the context of a research project on behalf of the Federal Ministry for the Environment,Nature Conservation,Building and Nuclear Safety(BMUB).To ensure the suitability of the assessment system the BNK method was tested in a pilot phase involving 18 real case buildings.From 2016 on the BNK method is now available for general use and the assessment is financially supported by public funds(KfW Banking Group).This paper will show the development and experience with the sustainability assessment of buildings in Germany in general,as well how the new list of criteria,indicators and benchmarks for assessing sustainability of small residential buildings(up to five dwelling units)putting the emphasis on simple applicability and cost-effectiveness in order to achieve widespread application.The assessment system focuses on the category of socio-cultural and functional quality followed by economic quality,environmental quality and process quality.
