BEES Model for Selecting Environmentally and Economically Balanced Building Products

摘要

The BEES (Building for Environmental and Economic Sustainability) project has developed a flexible methodology for balancing the environmental and economic performance of building products. The methodology, based on consensus standards, has been implemented in Windows-based decision support software for building designers and materials manufacturers, complete with actual environmental and economic performance data for a number of building products. This paper describes the underlying performance measurement methodology.
