Abstract

AbstractBuilding assessment schemes are recognized to be a powerful tool to promote a more sustainable built environment. For CasaClima, sustainability in the building sector represents a holistic concept, which not only evaluates the energy efficiency but goes further by considering a broader spectrum of aspects. At the roots of the CasaClima, sustainability seals lays the proven CasaClima energy efficiency certification extended by a set of criteria aimed at reducing the waste of natural resources, thereby limiting the environmental impact and assuring the well‐being of the people who live or work in the buildings. The CasaClima Agency, a public and independent body and a competence and research center for sustainable buildings standards, deals with all aspects related to the sustainability and quality assurance of the entire construction process from the planning, to on‐site audits, and finally the issuing of the CasaClima certification.
