Abstract: “The building environmental assessment systems and tools used over the world were the base of new system development for Slovak conditions. The proposed fields are site selection and project planning; building construction; indoor environment; energy performance; water management and waste management. The fields and indicators were proposed on the bases of available information analysis from particular fields of building environmental assessment and also on the base of our experimental experiences. The aim of this paper is presentation of Slovak building environmental assessment system and determination of assessment criteria of environmental indicators such as embodied energy (EE), embodied CO2eq emissions (ECO2) and embodied SO2eq emissions (ESO2) for the purpose of their implementation to BEAS.”
