2. Objectives FAMILY HOUSE:
The aim of this paper is evaluation of selected family house by system BEAS in fields:
A new Building Environmental Assessment System (BEAS) has been developed at the Institute of Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Košice.
List of indicator included relevant contributions of a building sustainability defined in ISO :2011 .
The proposed indicators respect Slovak standards and rules.
The evaluation is performed in the stage of new construction.
After evaluating the family house there will be proposed measures which can contribute to better functionality, operation and sustainability of the family house.

FAMILY HOUSE:
Foundations are designed with a width of 600 mm and a height of 1,000 mm of concrete C12/15.
External walls and internal bearing walls are designed from POROTHERM bricks on mortar lime-MVC with thickness of 440 mm, respectively 300 mm.
The horizontal structure consists of reinforced concrete ceiling above ground floor with thickness of 180 mm, reinforcing concrete ring beam. It is designed as reinforced concrete elements from concrete C20/25 (B20).

3. Methods
The system BEAS is used for evaluation of selected family house.
Selected family house was designed according to requirements of the customer, in order to ensure a higher level of well-being.
Family house is assessed as new building according to project documentation and actual state in the time of evaluation.
House is located in Košice - Krásna, district of Košice in east Slovakia.
House is designed as two-storied building.
Windows are plastic with brake thermal bridge.
Glazing system is designed as a triple glazing.
Family house is connected to a public network connection of wiring, water and sewage.
Family house is connected to the public water supply.
Sewage is designed as pressure sewage system.
Floor heating is designed in all rooms of house.
Source of the heating is heat pump - Daikin of 16 kW.

Final result: 2.57 – Environmentally friendly building
This family house obtained 2.57 from 5 point scale.
In Table is shown detail information and results of assessment.
Evaluated family house according to system BEAS meets the requirements of environmentally friendly buildings.
The best score was in the field of ​​energy performance.
Our proposed improvements:
selection of a more suitable location for a building in the land with a higher level of environmental quality;
increase the proportion of product with the environmental label and recycled materials;
improving the indoor environment in a family house can be achieved in increasing of comfort in the cooling season.
