Abstract
Construction has been accused of causing environmental
problems ranging from excessive consumption of global
resources both in terms of construction and building operation to
the pollution of the surrounding environment, and research on
green building design and using building materials to minimize
environmental impact is already underway. However, relying on
the design of a project to achieve the goal of sustainable
development, or to minimize impacts through appropriate
management on site, is not sufficient to handle the current
problem. The aim for sustainability assessment goes even further
than at the design stage of a project to consider its importance at
an early stage, before any detailed design or even before a
commitment is made to go ahead with a development. However,
little or no concern has been given to the importance of selecting
more environmentally friendly designs during the project appraisal
stage; the stage when environmental matters are best
incorporated. The main objectives of this paper are to examine
the development, role and limitations of current environmental
building assessment methods in ascertaining building
sustainability used in different countries which leads to discuss
the concept of developing a. sustainability model for project

2. appraisal based on a multi-dimensional approach, that will allow
alternatives to be ranked is discussed in detail in the paper.

What is Sustainability
There are many theories about global warming, but the truth is
that humans are consuming more energy today than ever before.
In fact, since the industrial revolution there has been such a large
population expansion that there are too many people on earth for
the planet to sustain its current level of consumption. At the
current rate the planet will be unable to meet the requirements of
humans in only a few years, which makes sustainability a very
important concept. Many people have already tried to start
producing goods and living their lives in sustainable ways.
However, many people will still wonder, what is sustainability?
DEFINATION:
In the modern world, sustainability is one of the most important
tasks a person can undertake. In general terms, the answer to
“what is sustainability?” is simple and it’s really just about living

3. our lives so that we don’t consume more natural resources than
the world, or more accurately – you, can produce.
NEEDS OF SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
The earth is full of organisms that co-exist and produce different
benefits for the existence of the planet. Without many of these
organisms the planet would slowly decay and human
consumption will have been the main culprit. Unfortunately, there
are a number of species and habitats that have already been
ruined by human interaction and consumption on the earth.
REASERCH BACKGROUND:
Human Sustainability Practices
One of the main ways that some people practice sustainability is
by consuming only things that are produced by you. For example,
if you wanted to have a salad than you might grow a garden in
your backyard in order to help you with the vegetables that you
need. While it is difficult to attain this level of sustainability, it is
better to try this way rather than to consume enormous amounts.
Sustainability for the Earth
There are a number of reasons why the question of what exactly
is sustainability, is so important. Many humans do not even
realize that they have been consuming in such a capacity that
could ruin the earth within a matter of a few years. This lack of
knowledge is exactly why the problems continue to persist.
Those who do not know about the sustainability problems in the
world are doomed to continue producing offspring at an
unsustainable rate. Already there has been exponential growth in
the world population of humans over the past few decades. Some
countries alone now have billions of people whereas the entire
planet did not used to have that many.
So if somebody asks you “what is sustainability?” you have to
have a reasonable answer that will educate them. The movement
to live more sustainable lives has grown rapidly over the past few

4. years as species have died off and habitats have been ruined.
Pollution and a lack of energy efficiency has really made it difficult
for the earth to continue providing humans with the same kind of
life that it once good. It is imperative that sustainable practices be
started all over the United Kingdom and the world in order to help
the planet and plan for the future of humankind.
