Overview of Sustainability Assessment Methods and Evaluation Tools for the Residential Sector

Multiple criteria-based approaches are used to provide credits to various identified indicators in sustainable building evaluation tools. Sustainability frameworks are essential for directing appropriate planning, assessment, and implementation inside the building. As a result, the residential sector is one of the most significant public objectives driving urban expansion and strongly influences long-term sustainability. When three components of sustainability (environment, economic, and social) are addressed, will the housing project be termed sustainable? The relevance of sustainability evaluation methods and indicators in attaining housing sustainability is examined in this study. The study's goal is to present and evaluate the sustainability assessment approaches to see how they interact with socio-cultural indicators or serve as an extension of the social sustainability component inside the scope of the building. The study is a result of information analyzed from various sources, including research papers, policy documents, and evaluation tools. The article explores the similarities and differences and how the overall evaluation might be improved for a more holistic approach to sustainable development.
