Abstract | Despite a number of currently available building assessment methods, relatively
little has been done on the assessment for sustainability of heritage buildings.
It is important to measure the performance of a heritage building in achieving
sustainability. The grading process often focuses on historical interest, architectural
merits and social merits; and generally ignores the significance of environmental
and economic impacts. There are also building assessment methods which focus
on environmental sustainability only. This paper aims to develop a hierarchy
to measure building performance of the built heritage from the three pillars
of sustainability. A Heritage Building Sustainability Index (HBSI) would be
described which incorporated a total of 19 indicators to benchmark performance
in sustainability. Building owners, managers, government, and policymakers
should make reference to these measurement metrics in order to move towards
sustainability. These indicators will be useful for formulation of strategies for
building restoration or adaptive re-use of heritage buildings. |
