The GBC '98 Case Study buildings have been the focus of the first real comparative test of an
international methodology for the assessment of environmental performance. Over 30 projects, including office buildings, multi-unit apartment buildings and schools, have been selected for their suitability to test the
GBC '98 assessment system . Details of each assessment process and its result were presented in the conference sessions. This portion of the GBC '98 conference represented a unique opportunity for all participants to become familiar with the concept and practise of
environmental performance assessment, presented by some of the leading thinkers and practioners on the subject. Beyond their value in testing the system, the Case Study projects also provide outstanding examples of the sustainable approaches in design and construction that we need to adopt in the very near future.
