The Engineering Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has addressed this high priority national need by extending its metrics and tools for sustainable building products, known as Building for Environmental and Economic Sustainability (BEES), to whole buildings. Whole building sustainability metrics have been developed based on innovative extensions to life-cycle assessment (LCA) and life-cycle costing (LCC) approaches involving whole building energy simulations. The measurement system evaluates the sustainability of both the materials and the energy used by buildings over time. It assesses the carbon footprint of buildings as well as 11 other environmental performance metrics, and integrates economic performance metrics to yield science-based measures of the business case for investment choices in high-performance green buildings. 517 $aBuilding Industry Reporting and Design for Sustainability 606 $aSustainable architecture 606 $aSustainable design (Buildings) 615 0$aSustainable architecture. 615 0$aSustainable design (Buildings) 700 $aKneifel$b Joshua$01386477 701 $aKneifel$b Joshua$01386477 701 $aLavappa$b Priya$01386476 701 $aO'Rear$b Eric$01401441 712 02$aNational Institute of Standards and Technology (U.S.).$bEngineering Laboratory. 801 0$bNBS 801 1$bNBS 801 2$bGPO 801 2$bNBS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910711380203321 996 $aBuilding Industry Reporting and Design for Sustainability (BIRDS) tutorial for new Low-Energy Residential database$93470884 997 $aUNINA
