ABSTRACT
Resource performance of buildings (BRP) is an instrument aiming to improve resource efficiency in real estate economy. By the aim of steering the development process, the resource performance indicator integrates reduction of consumption as key point in planning, documentation, and development calculation processes. Besides the demanding challenge to minimize energy consumption in buildings operational phase, future life time by developed durability measures, environmental sound production and end-of-life are essential phases in life cycle thinking of buildings. Meeting these demands, BRP process streamlines information achievement of materials’ origin, quantity and quality and value chain and integration into engineering and management processes. Resource efficiency due to informed reuse and recycling is being steered. Case studies of real estate companies practice support the scientific process for implementation and facilitation of scientific knowledge.
