N2 - This report is presents and summarises the results of the
European SuPerBuild-ings project.
The project developed and selected sustainability
indicators for buildings, de-velop understanding about
performance levels considering new and existing
buildings, different building types and different
national and local requirements, developed methods for
the assessment and benchmarking of sustainable buildings
and made recommendations for the effective use of
benchmarking systems as instruments of steering and in
different stages of building projects.
The final report presents the main results of the project
and makes references to the original project deliverables
available on the project's web site:

The final reported has been edited by the project
coordinator Dr Tarja Häk-kinen. The main authors of the
report are prof. Thomas Lützkendorf, Maria Balouktsi,
Andrea Immendörfer, KIT-U, Syviane Nibel, Boris
Bosdevigie, Alexeandra Lebert and Bruno Fies, CSTB, Dr
Patxi Hernandez Iñarra, TECNALIA, Antonín Lupísek and
prof. Petr Hajek, CVUT, Susanne Supper, ÖGUT, Erki Alsema
W/E, Laetitia Delem and Johan Van Dessel, CSTB, together
with Tarja Häkkinen, Carmen Antuña, Tarja Mäkeläinen from
VTT.
The final report introduces the current SB assessment
systems and dicsusses barrier and drviers for sustainable
building.
From the beginning, SuPerBuildings agreed not to add
another sustainability system to the numerous existing
ones. Instead, the principles for the design and
development of assessment systems should be worked out,
discussed and made publicly available. As the
sustainability of buildings should always be assessed
with the help of indicators, one of the key objectives of
SuPerBuildings is to ensure "validity" for sustainability
indicator systems. This determines the true possibility
of an indicator system to give information about the
sustainability of buildings.
Project selected indicators for further development.
Regarding these indicators the final report presents
information about their validity, assessment methods, and
performance levels.
The final report also discusses the problematics and
functional equivalent, and weighting and normalization
criteria.
Finally, the report gives recommendations for the use of
indicators in different stages of building processes, in
connection of building information models and in the
connection of different steering instruments.
