Urban planning indicators in sustainable building assessment methods
Abstract
Sustainable building assessment methods have emerged as a well accepted way to measure the perceived level of sustainability and provide guidelines toward the current best practice. Urban planning, through site selection, treatment of vegetation and habitat, social interaction, and transport, represents an important role in such methods. Indicators related to urban planning in current sustainable building assessment methods are comprehensively reviewed here.References
