No publisher gbendy policy sustainability LCA 2011-10-14T17:40:42Z Event http://www.buildingecology.com/events/bsa2012 Building sustainability involves various relations between built, natural and social systems and therefore comprises a complex of different priorities that require consideration at each stage of a building's life-cycle. To cope with this complexity and to support sustainability systematic, holistic and practical approaches to building design need to be developed. These approaches are aimed to support the development of a building design that achieves the most appropriate balance between the different sustainability dimensions and can be used with two different objectives: to support the sustainable building design; and to assess and recognized the efforts of the design teams in developing high-performance buildings. Building sustainability assessment methods and tools can be used since the very beginning of the design stage in order to gather and report information for decision-making during the different life-cycle stage of a building. Thus, BSA 2012 aims to gather a large number of international academics, researchers and practitioners in building sustainability assessment, providing a innovative discussion in the field. A set of workshops on BSA tools is also being prepared.

It will foster the transition from sustainable development theories into professional practice with tangible outcomes, particularly in Brazil and Latin America. In the past decade, strong efforts have focused on leveling the playing field, on envisioning a more sustainable future for the country, and on exploring management and innovation for sustainable building.
