Abstract

Firstly established in 1990s (BREEAM,1990; LEED,1998), the sustainability rating systems have been constantly evolving in terms of the sustainability categories, evaluation criteria and indicators. Moreover, the health and wellbeing-related aspects have been improving, especially within the lately introduced systems, e.g., WELL, 2016. In addition to the initially prevailing quantifying parameters, qualitative, especially biophilic aspects have been addressed. These tendences underline the sustainable architecture paradigm shifting toward regenerative approach fostering life-supporting, symbiotic and interdependent relationships between built and natural environment with the focus being on health and well-being of building users.
