Environmental evaluation of building materials: Example of two residential buildings in Belgrade

摘要

Environmental friendliness of building materials becomes an important factor in contemporary design and building concept and prerequisite for creation of sustainable buildings, e.g. sustainable architecture. Since in our circumstances, this concept is still at its very beginning, it would be interesting to determine what the answer that our building practice has offered so far has been. Therefore, typical buildings from Belgrade were chosen as models on which evaluation of environmental properties was conducted by using already developed evaluation methods and tools. Results of this research are presented in this work.
