Abstract

If building projects are going to be sustainable in the future, we need to use sustainability as a criterion for choice of concepts. The evaluation of projects needs to address more aspects than just the properties of single buildings. In this paper, the new evaluation model NTNU SBPis presented, for the evaluation of the whole urban planning situationincluding the neighbourhood and the transport infrastructure. The model has the potential to help practitioners achieve better results in terms of real sustainability in urban planning. The successful use of the NTNU SBP model may lead to more conscious choices in urban planning and a more sustainable community.
