本章重点介绍SIS在度量构建环境中的可持续性方面所扮演的角色，分为三个主要部分。首先，在引言中，本文反思了人们是否可以真正衡量可持续性；它简要讨论了可持续性的各种定义，以及为什么衡量可持续性很重要。第二部分完全集中在SIS上。它着眼于它们的作用和特点，并暂停了描述它们发展过程的两种方法模型：专家主导(或自上而下)和公民主导(或自下而上)。它还引入了第三个可供选择的方法论模型--混合模型，旨在填补自上而下和自下而上开发的SIS之间的空白。最后，第三部分着眼于建筑环境的认证方案，如BREEAM和LEED，其中SIS被聚集在指数中，用于评估建筑物和社区的‘性能’。文章最后讨论了在建筑环境中使用SIS和认证方案的一些相关问题，如“一刀切”、专家偏见的过程和对可持续发展支柱的不平等考虑；但也讨论了它们的优点，包括提高认识、传播可持续发展知识和辅助决策过程。
This chapter focuses on the role that SIs play/ have in measuring sustainability in the build environment and is structured under three main sections. First, in the introduction the paper reflects on whether one can actually measure sustainability; it briefly discusses various definitions of sustainability and why is important to measure sustainability. The second section focuses entirely on SIs. It looks at their role and characteristics, and pauses on the two methodological models that characterise the process of their development: expert-led (or top-down) and citizen-led (or bottom-up). It also introduces a third and alternative methodological model, the hybrid model, which aims to fill the gap between top-down and bottom-up developed SIs. Finally, the third part looks at certification schemes for the built environment, such as BREEAM and LEED, where SIs are aggregated in indexes, used to assess the ‘performance’ of buildings and neighbourhoods. The paper concludes by discussing some of the problems associated with the use of SIs and certification schemes in the built environment such as ‘one size doesn’t fit all’, expert biased processes and unequal consideration of sustainability pillars; but also their merits including raising awareness, disseminating sustainability knowledge and aiding decision making processes.
