We developed the ASIG Sustainable Building Guideline as a strategic framework document at the level of vision and organisation. It defines sustainability goals, relevant criteria as well as concrete approaches and tools for the various stakeholders along the entire property life cycle. The dimensions of ecology, economy and socio-culture are given equal weight and aligned with international and local sustainability goals.
A Sustainable Building set of specifications was drawn up as an integral component. It sets out the objectives for each criterion – from resource conservation, energy efficiency, climate protection and biodiversity & climate adaptation through to economic viability & regional economy, user needs, health and quality of life. It also defines assessment benchmarks and clarifies responsibilities in line with the SIA project phases. For each construction project, a project-specific set of specifications with a binding target agreement is derived from it.
The result is a practical management instrument that systematically integrates sustainability into decision-making processes and enables quality-assured implementation across all project phases.
