Moisture protection and environmental evaluation systems This project has reviewed a number of environmental evaluation systems with the aim of investigating to what extent moisture protection aspects are included. In general, those methods that assess an entire building do consider moisture protection aspects in some form. There also seems to be a greater willingness to allow for moisture considerations when assessing existing buildings, e.g. the Swedish 'Eco Effect Method', the Swedish 'Environmental Status of Buildings' and the Norwegian 'Ökoprofile'. However, methods intended for use with planned buildings as well do not consider moisture protection aspects to the same extent. We see, for example, a need to complement GBC in this respect. This project puts forward a proposal for drafting moisture protection criteria in environmental assessment systems. It concentrates on assessing: 1) the ambition level of a building in terms of setting moisture protection requirements; 2) quality assurance to ensure that the requirements have been fulfilled. We feel that it is reasonable to include this format of moisture protection parameters in existing environmental assessment systems for planned buildings. However, in this project, we have not considered or decided the importance that should be attached to these parameters relative to other environmental withstand parameters. The project has shown the relationships between various processes involved in the design, construction and operation of a building, and how closely they are related to each other. In this context, it is the quality assurance process that is under the spotlight: ensurance of a good indoor environment and processes for moisture protection of the building. Systems for all these processes exist today: sometimes company specific, sometimes more general. Bringing all these systems together would assist the various parties involved in the design, construction and use/operation of a building.
