Conference Paper Description

Considering common concerns and specific priorities of developing countries like India, the study has recognized and explored 8 criteria and 4 indicators in assessing sustainable building performance, and further extended to quantify the identified criteria based on the attributes and prerequisites. The objective of the present study is to assess the degree of performance of a sustainable building based on quantification of associated attributes and prerequisites. The developed approach has been integrated with a coding program using C++, a user-friendly software interface to develop a sustainable building assessment tool (SBAT). The developed holistic framework will not only facilitate in providing the guidelines for sustainable design and practice, but also, measures the building sustainability score to achieve sustainable construction. This simple and lucid software helps the designers and architects in measuring the performance of building towards sustainability.
