 FP7 OPEN HOUSE objective
to develop and implement an European transparent building
assessment methodology
to identify gaps in existing assessment methodologies and
complement existing ones
to develop a technical platform for planning and constructing
sustainable buildings
to analyse existing standards and assessment methodologies
and their potentials
to identify the sustainable performance levels in different
countries by 67 case studies in 24 European countries

make it ready for planning, constructing and

assessment of sustainable buildings.

 Overview of methods and tools for
assessment of building sustainability
Quantitative assessment methods - i.e. LCA (based) methods ,
inventory of material and energy flows and impact assessment of particular flows to
environmental problems (Envest, EcoQuantum, GaBi .)
Qualitative assessment methods indicators are defined , building is then scored on
several aspects (environmental and others like social, economic), scores are weighted
and aggregated to a final score

First generation assessment methods green building

Second generation assessment methods sustainable building

 OPEN HOUSE Baseline model and assessment methodology
"Full" and "Core" indicators system
The OPEN HOUSE methodology is diversified in six categories:

The three pillars of sustainability Environmental Quality, Social / functional Quality and Economic
Quality compose the main assessment with equal weight to each other.
Technical Characteristics and Process Quality are modules, which are assessed separately.
In the category The Location, the site is assessed as an extra module because it is outside the system
boundaries.

 Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

SBS is a data base including a huge amount of LCA data sets for
construction products
Constructions can then be combined to form a building
To address the use phase of a building, its energy demand (heat and
electricity) has to be calculated and related to respective data sets
After the LCA calculation, results can be downloaded as Excel-Files
For OPEN HOUSE, a set of constructions has been developed, which
allows for a very easy application of the tool

 Lifecycle approach (LCA, LCC)

OH indicators consider sustainability over the whole life cycle of the

building; currently more information is available for the phase of
production of building materials (EPDs data base) and the use phase
(EPBD based energy use indicators)

Use of LCC at early stages of

 OPEN HOUSE as a driver for sustainable
design
Involvement of public participation - open source information materialised in an open
and accessible OPEN HOUSE Platform.

Training materials and activities for stakeholders available by OPEN HOUSE project
partners, assuring in that way methodologys proper implementation and its continuity

Designed and developed by a transparent and consensus process.

Therefore, it is automatically suitable for all European countries.

Available to everybody, i.e. a non proprietary method, thus fostering the exploitation.

A comprehensive and user-friendly methodology, supported by an interactive web tool

(OPEN HOUSE Platform), manuals, presentation available at www.openhouse-fp7.eu and
by OPENHOUSE partners.
