【 摘 要 】

Several instruments for the assessment of the sustainable building performance such as BREEAM (Great Britain), LEED (USA) and DGNB or BNB (Germany) have been developed in the last years. These methodologies have the same intent - advancement of the sustainable building performance. These systems focus mostly on commercial buildings. However the sustainability assessment of the residential sector is getting more important. Giving that around 115, 000 owner-occupied detached houses are built up per year in Germany, a new assessment method (BNK system) for small residential houses was developed on behalf of the Federal Ministry for the Interior, Building and Community (BMI) in 2015. To ensure the suitability of the assessment system, the BNK method was tested in a pilot phase and from 2016 on it is available for general use and the assessment is financially supported by public funds (KfW Banking Group). To date more than 100 of small residential buildings have been certified with BNK. This paper will show the development and experience with the sustainability assessment of buildings in Germany in general, as well as the intents, indicators and real case projects of the BNK-Tool for small residential buildings (up to five dwelling units) and its further development.
