Abstract
This chapter examines tools and protocols for assessing and certifying the sustainability of buildings, with a focus on European and international practices. Directive 2002/91/EC and the evolution of energy certification are explored, with the Energy Performance Certificate at the centre. The circular economy in the built environment, multi-building tools for sustainability, and a practical case study are explored. Life Cycle Assessment is analysed in relation to international standards, systems such as Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and environmental benchmarks, highlighting their crucial role in mitigating impacts in the construction sector.
