Sustainable Building Performance: Measuring Environmental Impact and Occupant Well-being

Sustainability performance of a building refers to its ability to minimize negative impacts on the environment, conserve natural resources, and promote the well-being of its occupants. It involves the use of sustainable materials, energy-efficient systems, and green technologies to reduce energy consumption, water usage, and waste generation. Sustainability performance is typically measured through various metrics such as energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, and carbon footprint. The aim of sustainable buildings is to create a healthier and more comfortable living and working environment while reducing the negative impact on the planet.
