A big percentage of the environmental impacts caused by industry come from the construction sector. In Spain almost 30% of the total CO2 emissions come from the use of residential and non-residential buildings. Apart from the energy and water consumption of the operational stage of the building, the resource extraction and material manufacture stages must also be considered, as they represent between 25-30% of the total energy consumption of the building's life cycle1. Therefore a building as a single body represents a great impact in the environment, the amount of resources consumed and waste produced are excessive and, without any doubt, unsustainable. Under these considerations, this investigation intends to define the rehabilitation of buildings as an answer to address environmental impact. By optimizing management, organization and improving the physical performance of the stock of existing buildings, the rehabilitation with environmental goals embraces the possibilities of transforming the construction sector, by giving way to the concept of re-use and recycle and encouraging these answers in order to recover resources from existing structures instead of extracting them, and improving the buildings operation and management to increase its life cycle performance. But rehabilitating a building is not a simple process. Many factors must be taken into account especially when the building is operating. Certifying tools for sustainable buildings give the guidance, through a list of criteria, to accomplish a level of sustainable efficiency in the building, for either new construction or existing buildings. The certifying tools for existing buildings have been developed to assess their current performance in operation and maintenance, and the potential they have to improve. The certifying tool for new constructions guides the building from the design stage to the construction stage to accomplish a physical and inherit sustainable performance. By analyzing and comparing both types of assessment tools and from different organizations (LEED and BREEAM), it is intended with this work to develop a tool that will not only certify a rehabilitated building, but will also shows the steps, the criteria and procedures for a Sustainable Rehabilitation.

This book on biomimicry assessment tools studies the concepts of sustainability, sustainable construction practices, and the evaluation categories that constitute a sustainability assessment tool. By exploring and drawing lessons from biomimicry principles, the book provides a nature-inspired assessment tool to aid and guide the sustainable transformation of the built environment. The book encapsulates the attributes of the conceptualised biomimicry assessment tool, which is aimed at helping practitioners, regulatory bodies, and governmental and non-governmental agencies in greening the built environment. Owing to the dire need for country-specific and tailor-made tools that address developing countries' needs, this book serves as a practical reference and theoretical springboard for the development of sustainability assessment tools for the built environment. Furthermore, the book serves as a guide in navigating the path towards achieving the greening agendas of the built environment and other sectors and seeks to align the new biomimicry assessment tool with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is important reading for academics, professionals and advanced students in the built environment, engineering, and sustainable development.

A building's entire life cycle aooOCU1/4oOe1/4o from construction through occupation, cycles of renovation and repairs, up to demolition and disposal, impacts the flow of materials thereby created. The decisive path of a building's environmental impact is however usually set early in the planning phase, at a time when planners often still lack knowledge about the sustainability characteristics of different building materials and constructions."

Environmental Life Cycle Assessment (ELCA) that was developed about three decades ago demands a broadening of its scope to include lifecycle costing and social aspects of life cycle assessment as well, drawing on the three-pillar or ‘triple bottom line’ model of sustainability, which is the result of the development of the Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA). LCSA refers to the evaluation of all environmental, social and economic negative impacts and benefits in decision-making processes towards more sustainable products throughout their life cycle. Combination of environmental and social life cycle assessments along with life cycle costing leads to life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA). This book highlights various aspects of life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA).

The study shows that both buildings exhibit tremendous sustainable techniques. However, throughout the process of construction, both project teams could have looked to more outside influences to achieve maximum sustainability. The findings of this study can be used to show that a greater emphasis needs to be put on aligning a Global certification system to approve sustainable buildings. Allocating ideas that revolve around green building on an international scale would serve to significantly improve the worldwide environment with respect to the construction industry.
