IBO - Environmental and Health related Criteria for Buildings The assessment of the building QEB (Qualité Environnementale du Bâtiment) is based on 14 unweighted issue areas: 1. Managing the impacts on the outdoor environment 2. Selection of Materials / Building Elements 3. Sustainable Construction Site 4. Energy 5. Water demand 6. Waste Management 7. Adaptability and durability of the building 8. Hygrothermal Comfort 9. Sound insulation 10. Optimization of natural and artificial light comfort 11. Reduction in sources of unpleasant odours / air pollutants 12. Hygienic Aspects 13. Indoor Air Quality 14. Drinking Water Quality Three classifications form the range of assessment within one subcategory: - B Base (basic: regulation level or normal practice) - P Performant (good practice, better than basic) - TP Très performant (best practice, comparable to the best projects in the country) The results of the subcategories are not aggregated to an overall result. To achieve a HQE certificate the following requirements (“minimum profile”) must be met: − TP in at least three sub-categories − P in at least four sub-categories − B in 7 sub-categories (at most) − P or TP in subcategory 4 „Energy “ In 2009, CSTB (Centre scientifique et technique du bâtiment) and its subsidiary Certivéa had signed a Memorandum of Understanding to work together with BRE (The British Research Establishment) to develop a pan-European building environmental assessment method. 4.6. GB (Green Building) Tool / SB (Sustainable Building) Tool The Green Building (GB) Tool was developed within the international working group “Green Building Challenge (GBC)” which was launched by the Canadian architects Nils Larsson and Ray Cole in 1996 with the aim to improve the environmental performance of buildings and to provide a mastertool for assessment which can easily be adapted to regional conditions. The assessment method was tested and developed by a group of more than a dozen teams. In 2002, responsibility was handed over to the International Initiative for a Sustainable Built Environment (iiSBE), the GB Tool transformed to the Sustainable Building Tool (SBTool). SBTool is a generic framework for rating the sustainable performance of buildings and built environment. It may also be thought of as a toolkit that assists local organizations to develop rating systems. The system covers a wide range of sustainable building issues, not just Final Report 34 31 03 2011
IBO - Environmental and Health related Criteria for Buildings green building concerns, but the scope of the system can be modified to be as narrow or as broad as desired, ranging from 125 criteria to half a dozen. The main topics are the following: A) Site Selection, Project Planning and Development B) Energy and Resource Consumption C) Environmental Loadings D) Indoor Environmental Quality E) Service Quality F) Social and Economic Aspects G) Cultural and Perceptual Aspects These main topics comprise 29 categories sub-divided into 125 indicators (depending on the scope of assessment, see 13.5 Appendix SBTool 07 for new apartments). The weighting factors may vary depending on regional specifics of a country. The range of assessment goes from 0 to 5 - 0 - Acceptable Practice - 3 - Good Practice - 5 - Best Practice Detailed information is available on http://www.iisbe.org/iisbe/sbc2k8/sbc2k8-dwn.htm The system allows third parties to establish parameter weights that reflect the varying importance of issues in the region, and to establish relevant benchmarks by occupancy type, in local languages. Thus, many rating systems can be developed in different regions that look quite different, but share a common methodology and set of terms. The main advantage, however, is that a SBTool version developed with local knowledge is likely to be much more relevant to local needs and values than other systems. The system handles large projects or single buildings, residential or commercial, new and existing construction, or a mix of the two. 4.7. LEnSE (Label for Environmental, Social and Economic Buildings) LEnSE (abbreviation for Methodology Development towards a Label for Environmental, Social and Economic Buildings) was a project co-funded by the European Commission within the Sixth Framework Programme and coordinated by BBRI - Belgian Building Research Institute. It was carried out 2006/2007 with the main target to develop a building assessment system for the European market which is applicable in different countries taking into account regional specifications. It was the first system considering the three pillars of sustainability: economic, environmental and social. The LEnSE methodology encompasses a set of 57 sustainability issues, grouped into 11 categories in the 3 pillars of sustainable construction. Following European wide testing of the method on a series of case study buildings, a number of issues were consolidated. This has led to a final set of 30 developed issues (see 13.4 Appendix: LEnSE ) Final Report 35 31 03 2011
