abstract |
In 2000, BRE launched a software tool called Envest. This tool allowed designers to
gauge the environmental impacts of a whole building design at the initial stage of
the design process, comparing the embodied impact of the building fabric to the impact
from operation. The simplicity of the tool hinges upon the use of a single score approach
to measuring environmental impacts. The measure is known as Ecopoints. In response
to pressure from the market, BRE has developed Envest further to include a Whole Life
Costing function that enables the designer to consider the costs of the building delivery
and its maintenance scheme together with the environmental impact. Acknowledging that
there is a role for generic and specific costs, the new tool will enable users to
enter their own costs or use default data. In early 2002, Envest II will go on line.
Web based, the tool will be inherently more flexible than its CD ROM predecessor and,
for the first time, creates the possibility of adding new products as data becomes
available from manufacturers. This function has been developed in parallel with the
BRE Certification Scheme for Environmental profiles of Construction Products which
allows manufacturers to make independently verified claims about their product. Envest
scores can already be used to obtain "material" credits in BREEAM, the whole building
assessment scheme and the new version will continue to be used in this way. |
