Assessment of Portuguese thermal building legislation in an energetic and environmental perspective

The results show that the Portuguese thermal building legislation can be considered consistent in terms of energy efficiency and environmental performance if we take the damage categories into account - “human health” or “ecosystem quality” or the impact category - “emission into air”. It cannot be considered consistent if we take the damage category into account - “resources” or the impact category - “CO2 eq” (equivalent carbon dioxide emissions)/“climate change”/“global warming”.
