The criteria of sustainability are included inbuilding environmental assessment systems used in different countries for evaluating theirsustainable and environmental performance. The aim of building environmental assessment isa sustainable building design.The new Slovak building environmental assessment system (BEAS) was developed. The baseof system development is mainly SBTool. The proposed indicators respect Slovak standardsand rules. The proposed fields of building environmental assessment system applicable inSlovak conditions are: building site and project planning, building constructions, indoorenvironment, energy performance, water management and waste management.In Italy and in particular in Trentino Alto Adige region it has been proposed, as buildingenvironmental assessment, the LEED (Leadership in Engineering and Environmental Design)developed by the US Green Building Council (USGBC). It was founded the Italian GreenBuilding Council (GBC Italy) and the University of Trento, in 2008, made the transposition inItalian language of the LEED version “new construction 2.2” (LEED nc 2.2) replacing theAmerican standard with the Italian and European standard and the MKS metric system, bathrespecting the philosophy of the LEED credits. At moment 20 buildings in Italy are underLEED nc2.2 certification in English language and they will be certificated from USGBC andtwo of them are case study under the supervision of the Civil and Environmental EngineeringDepartment. From April 2010 will be possible to certificate in Italian language using theItalian LEED 2009 and the certification will be issue from GBC Italy.The paper relates the methodology developed from the University of Trento and TechnicalUniversity of Kosice. In the future the research focus of boot University will be on thebuilding environmental assessment systems for the existing building.37º <strong>IAHS</strong> <strong>World</strong> <strong>Congress</strong> On Housing Science 157
