This paper reports on experiences from the Swedish participation in Green Building Challenge '98 and ongoing similar work in Sweden. It argues against very simplified environmental assessment methods and recommends, as far as possible, calculation of environmental effects caused by buildings during their life cycle. Participation in the development of the GBC tool provided a broad view of the issues, clarified different opinions in a new field and provided additional stimulation while developing our national assessment methodology, EcoEffect. The environmental assessment of buildings is discussed in relation to the strength and weaknesses of the GBC system. The design and characteristics of 'green buildings' in Sweden is addressed, including ten poster presentations and two case studies presented at GBC '98. Cet article rend compte des experiences liees a la participation de la Suede au projet Green Building Challenge '98 et a des travaux similaires en cours d'execution en Suede. Il procede a l'analyse critique de methodes d'evaluation de l'environnement tres simplifiees et recommande que, dans la mesure du possible, on calcule les incidences sur l'environnement imputables aux batiments pendant leur cycle de vie. La contribution aux travaux de developpement du GBC Tool a permis d'arriver a une vision plus large des problemes, de faire la lumiere sur des opinions differentes dans un domaine nouveau et est a l'origine d'une stimulation nouvelle tout en developpant notre methodologie d'evaluation nationale, EcoEffect. L'evaluation environnementale de batiments est passee en revue sur fond de points forts et de points faibles du systeme GBC. L'article etudie la conception et les caracteristiques des 'batiments verts' en Suede; ce sujet fait egalement l'objet de 10 presentations par affiches et de 2 etudes de cas presentees a la conference GBC '98. |
