ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF SITE SELECTION AND PROJECT PLANNING INDICATORS IN BEAS
Abstract
Building environmental assessment systems a nd methods has been introduced in many countries. Building Research Establishment’s Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) designated as a first building environmental assessment method was developed in the United Kingdom in 1990. The Slovak building environmental assessment system (BEAS) has been processe d in the recent times . Systems and tools used in many countries were based on the new system development for applications under Slovak conditions. The fields and indicators are proposed on the base of available experiences database analysis from envi ronmental performance of buildings. The foundation of system development was mainly based on the SBTool. BEAS is a multi- criteria system which included environmental, social and cultural aspects. The building environmental assessment systems deal with site selection and project planning, building constructions, indoor air quality, en ergy efficiency, waste management during building constructions and operations and water management. The building site and project planning field will be introduced in the paper. This paper summarizes analysis of weights the significance of environmental indi cators to measure this field in BEAS by Saaty method of Analytic hierarchy process. Also the proposal and verify of this field will be presented for selected office buildings.
