Abstract
This chapter aims to determine the sustainability of prefabricated buildings by studying the economic, environmental and social impact of the methods of prefabrication used in their construction. A preliminary study of prefabricated architecture is followed by an assessment of the sustainability of the main technologies used to prefabricate 161 recently constructed school buildings in Spain. This evaluation uses the integrated value model for sustainable assessment (MIVES), which is a multi-criteria decision-making method that includes value functions and has been used in workshops to define a specific sustainability assessment tool for the schools within the sample. Finally, recommendations and future trends are presented.
