responding to EU sustainability challengethrough the
CESBA Vision
www.cesba.eu 4
1. Create a collective, holistic approach towards European building and neighborhood assessment through harmonized indicators
2. Support initiatives for user friendly incentive systems, regulations and laws on regional, national and European level
3. Impact the construction market with a mass approach, reaching out through certifications harmonized by CESBA
4. Disseminate CESBA to all involved users through certification, training, services

• How to define indicators?• Use indicators to characterize performance with respect
to criteria• Choose quantitative or qualitative indicators
• Harmonizing through comparable approach on:• Characterization• Normalization• Aggregation

Harmonizing assessment: methods
www.cesba.eu 16
• CESBA Key Performance Indicators• Create a common EU base for sustainable building
assessment• Can be adopted in existing and new assessment systems• Facilitate comparability of performance results
• Completed by Reference Performance Indicators, for further harmonization
• Holistic CESBA approach works on:• Building scale• Neighbourhood scale• European macro regions scale
