Implementing Sustainability into Croatian Public Building Standard (PBS)

Building is one of the meaningful segments of sustainable development and includes: appropriation of building materials that don’t harm the environment, energy efficient building and waste reduction management and building demolition. The first step to implement the principles of sustainable design into Croatian architecture is regulation of legal acts. Sustainable design should be incorporated into Ordinance on tender of architectural and urban field. This requirements should be mandatory for all PBS and optional for all other facilities. In this way such step could be applied immediately. The next step is to implement the sustainable design into Essential principles for technical quality of building of Physical Planning and Building Act for which it should be one of the most important requirements. The public sector facilities and the society itself need to be an example of ecological technologies and practices, be the economy generator, represent energy self- sufficiency and implement sustainability principles. The public sector is in the service of sustainable building practices.
