15. Assessment with respect to content
CESB16 June 22,2016 Prague
Assessment with respect to content
experienced assessor (for instance BREEAM or LEED)
makes assessment guided by information in AQSI per category
summary for each categorie
evaluation for building in general
always subjective, like people are
Nieman Raadgevende Ingenieurs

16. CESB16 June 22,2016 Prague
Conclusions
Impact of buildings on health, safety and wellbeing still ‘hidden’ in green building assessments
Tools like AQSI can assist building rating schemes to reveal the social impact
EN16309 provides a structured approach for all relevant social aspects
