Résumé

Building design standards and criteria in recent years have evolved and new standards have been introduced to increase sustainability and enhance operations in new facilities. Acoustical and noise control criteria are incorporated into new standards and criteria for green and high performing buildings as Environmental Quality (EQ). Governmental legislation and regulation have created or modified some standards, but in many cases, non-governmental organizations (NGO) have written or sponsored voluntary standards. In some cases NGO standards have been adopted into governmental regulations, building codes or ordinances. As they evolve, some of the standards are converging or being harmonized for adoption by government in regulations and codes Standards and Criteria covered include: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED); a third-party certification and benchmark system created by U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), Design, Construction and Operation of Sustainable Buildings, 3rd Edition.
