摘要: The use of sustainable assessment methods in the UK is on rise, emulating future regulatory trajectory towards zero carbon by 2016. indisputable influence rating tools building regulations conveys importance evaluating their effectiveness achieving true design, without adversely effecting human health and wellbeing. This paper reviews potential trade-offs between ecological particularly energy conservation indoor air quality. barriers to effective adoption quality strategies are investigated, including recommendations, suggestions research needs. consideration occupants’ wellbeing should be paramount any sustainability method, quality, thus not overshadowed or obscured drive efficiency. A balance essential.
