Building passport as a tool to evaluate sustainability of building.

Author(s) : VIRTA M., HOVORKA F., LIPPO A.

Summary

Today the sustainability of building is often evaluated using building labeling tools like LEED, BREEAM, DGNB or HQE. One of the weaknesses of these tools is that they weight the different areas of sustainability as one or two ratings (e.g. BREEAM excellent) but leave the real performance measurements to the background and therefore the designed or real performance information is not visible. In this paper we present the alternative or complementary tool to present the building's performance indicators, mainly energy and carbon, as a one illustration. It includes both the embodied and lifetime carbon and a possibility to evaluate them during the lifetime of building. It also illustrates the level of energy performance certificates (new building) and display energy certificate levels (existing building). Also indoor environment quality and life time cost are among the indicators. KPIs are specified either based on national regulations or on the EN 15978-standard.
