Summary
Annex 31 examined how tools and assessment methods could be
developed and used to improve the energy-related impact of buildings on
interior, local and global environments. This project includes an international
directory of current tools, a description of tool theory and methods, research
reports on how tools perform and case studies. Annex 31 reports may be of
interest to users of tools, to groups engaged in tool design, and to anyone
establishing policy and guidelines for promoting better decision-making within
the building sector.
Participants: Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and United States of America.
