RESILIENCE COVERAGE OF GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORKS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
2021
Sustainable development has been a popular concept since 1987 and the issuance of
the Brundtland report. A diverse number of sustainability assessment frameworks are
available to examine the environmental performance of buildings and communities. With
the current pace of climate change and the increasing threat of stronger, more frequent
natural hazards, however, there are doubts that sustainability alone is an effective
response. Sustainability assessment frameworks in recent years have been criticized
for not incorporating hazard resilience. To better understand the current level of
emphasis put on resilience to natural hazards in green building rating systems, this
study aims to assess the level of resilience integration in existing sustainability
assessment frameworks. The results demonstrate an overall lack of resilience coverage
in the frameworks with only four frameworks, CASBEE, LEED, Green Globes, and DGNB
having resilience coverage of 27.5%, 15%, 2.6%, and 1.1% respectively. This confirms
a need for more systematic integration of resilience indicators into sustainability
rating systems to create combined frameworks for sustainability and resilience.
