Topic: Why PLEA buildings didn't glow with the Green Architecture - can it be changed?


Session Abstract

Green building rating systems, use simple ‘point hunting’ approach. The tendency is to choose "cheap and easy” points in order to collect enough points to win the label “Green Building”. The points won for reducing the energy consumption of the building are, in general, neither "cheap" nor “easy”. Moreover, the green rating systems don't separate the impact of the building good Bio-Climatic design from the impact of the building’s systems despite of the fact that the building and systems have different lifespan scales and therefore influence differently the environment and the human well-being. 

We discuss the question how can we endorse and promote good bioclimatic, passive solar architecture into the main stream Green Architecture.
