Indicators for Buildings’ Energy Performance
Over the last few decades, a wide variety of papers have aimed at developing, enhancing, and categorizing the sustainabilitySustainability and energy efficiencyEnergy efficiency indicators. Those efforts assess the economic, social and environmental indicators in isolation to each to other without energy efficiency, material efficiency, and resources sustainability. These studies’ main focus is to provide important information to policy-makers to understand the implications and impacts of various energy programs, alternative policies, strategies, and plans in shaping development within the countries. In fact, indicators—when properly analyzed and interpreted—can be useful tools for communicating data relating to energy and sustainable development issues to policy-makers and to the public, and for promoting institutional dialogue. This research is a first-time effort towards mapping the existing indicatorsIndicators of energy efficiency in the built sector by grouping all the aforementioned indicators into five main parameters. The success of the critical taxonomy is based on the association of sustainable performance indicators with energy sustainability. The link between those parameters provide a structure and clarify statistical data to give better insight into the factors that affect energy efficiency, environment, economics, and social well-being, and how they might be influenced and trends improved. Indicators can be used to monitor the progress of past policies, and to provide a “reality check” on strategies for future sustainable development.
