Assessment

Assessment

Assessment guidance focuses on ZEB performance evaluation in relation to sustainability criteria. This includes various tools and metrics to measure energy use, carbon emissions, and environmental impact. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a central component of ZEB assessment. LCA evaluates the environmental impact of a building throughout its lifecycle, from material sourcing to operation and eventual demolition.

Tools like the KBOB and SIA-2040-Tool, as well as reports such as Life Cycle Emission Calculation and Emission Database for Building Materials, provide essential frameworks for conducting these assessments. These resources help ensure that ZEB projects stay on track with their sustainability goals by offering structured methodologies for evaluating the environmental impact of building materials, carbon emissions, and energy consumption throughout the building’s lifecycle.
