ABSTRACT
Environmental building assessment is a specific complex of proceedings ori-ented towards systematic and objective evaluation of building performance. These processes lead to design, construction and operation of buildings with respect to criteria for sustainable development. In the recent years the evaluation of building performance in terms of environmental, social and economic aspects is a discussed topic in the Slovak Republic. The purposes of building assessments from these aspects are due to the determination of real building states from a safety and reliability point of view, the possibility of building comparisons, the effect of environ-mental buildings potential and the proposal of measures resulting in sustainable buildings. In Slovakia the building environmental assessment system (BEAS) has been developed at the Institute of Environmental Engineering, Technical Univer-sity of Košice. The proposal of BEAS applicable in the condition of the Slovak Republic will be presented in this paper.
