Abstract
Buildings as main consumers of energy and resources are responsible for waste
and greenhouse gasses creation for which they have caused serious implications
to the environmental and human health. Sustainable architecture considers
reasonable resource exploitation and improvement of the built environment,
human wellbeing and health. Its implementation in a building’s design is a
demanding task due to multitude of aspects it grasps.
This paper proposes a design process, tested on a case-study, which integrates the
projects participants and determines common indicators on the buildings
environmental, social and economic performance. The chosen indicators are of
various importance for the buildings design. Thus, for each of them respective
weights are determined by the project team. During the design process three
alternatives of the case-study are proposed and analysed.
The results have shown that supporting the design process with tools for decision
making enables choosing the most sustainable design alternative for creation of a
healthy built environment.
