Abstract

Abstract The sustainability assessment methods used over the world were the basis of new system development for Slovak conditions. The proposed fields are site selection and project planning; building construction; indoor environmental quality; energy performance; water and waste management. The evaluated indicators were proposed on the basis of available information analysis from particular fields of building environmental assessment and also on the basis of our experimental experiences. The aim of this paper is to present developed building environmental assessment system oriented to energy performance and the significance weight determination. Percentage weight of fields and indicators was determined on the basis of their significance, according to mathematical method.
