Abstract

In this chapter, we list the key performance indicators and thresholds for regenerative architecture and positive impact architecture. The aim of this chapter is to share with readers the insights of our assessment methodology and how we compared the four case studies. The chapter discuss the key influential parameters that need to be taken into account when assessing the environmental performance of buildings. The assumptions for our life cycle assessment and the used standards and system boundaries are described including the functional unit and indicators of comparison. We present the life cycle inventory and the weight share of material groups that was found four the four buildings. The durability of elements, replacement and repair scenarios are presented in order to inform the reader about the some quantitative and methodological information on the role of end-of-life in buildings.
