Sustainability assessment is one of the basic issues in the agenda of public authorities and it requires practical tools to measure performance in terms of sustainable development goals. Most studies in literature deal with only one dimension of the problem of environmental components of sustainability. These studies discuss entities at only one level (cities, buildings, etc.), and one layer (green, smart, etc.) in selected dimensions. The literature includes no models that claim to provide an integrated assessment of entities’ performance in the 3D Cartesian system. The presently available models do not offer solutions that would be applicable in practice. SIMURG (A performance-based and Sustainability-Oriented Integration Model Using Relational database architecture to increase Global competitiveness of construction industry) proposes using layers and their KPI sets in the assessment process. In addition to philosophical, organisational, integrational, and computational models, this study aims to develop a lean architecture of a relational database model by eliminating ineffective solutions in the practical dimension, i.e. in the computer model. The model can be used by individuals to help them choose built environment whose characteristics match their expectations. Public authorities can utilise the model to increase the level of accountability, transparency, and legitimacy in their decision-making processes.

Current development trends are driving ubiquitous sustainability requirements, pushing organizations to achieve new sustainability goals and targets. To this effect, continuous and continual performance measurements are the key to any business-related success. Therefore, the sustainable performance of an organization can be defined as the performance that takes a long time to achieve its goals. The outcome is a well-balanced balance of context, strategy, management processes, resources, and intangibles especially since it is closely related to the notion of sustainable development (TBL). The goal of this paper is two-fold. Firstly, a systematic literature review is conducted to highlight the importance and the need to assess the three pillars of sustainability and, finally, to encircle the sustainability concept by identifying the most used techniques and approaches in its evaluation. This paper can be considered as basic support for future studies in the application of sustainable performance measurement/assessment systems.

The paper is to present a multi-criteria approach for sustainability assessment of manufacturing processes, which can be applied to carry out the sustainability assessment of manufacturing processes requiring less detailed data, time, and expert knowledge, but still providing a company-level analysis. The analytical hierarchy process method is used to determine ranking of simple and relevant activity areas for manufacturing processes in terms of sustainability objectives. Analytical technique is also employed to assess the degree of sustainability in manufacturing due to limited information which appear to be a characteristic of the case study presented. One goal of sustainability characterization methodology is to improve the manufacturing sustainability performance. Similar to the baseline scenario, sustainability reevaluation for sustainability improvement is also applied and discuses performance profile at the process level. This approach seems particularly useful when comparing different processes. It makes applicable for various industries and might be a challenge to derive priorities for systematic improvement. The applicability and usability of the proposed assessment method was verified by the case study in company producing heating devices.

Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) has an important impact on health and wellbeing of building users. In order to maintain an acceptable IEQ, policies, strategies and guidelines on achieving the required IEQ have been developed. Control and evaluation of indoor air factors is needed for ensuring the sufficient air quality. Impact of emmisions from building materials, furnishings and HVAC systems to indoor air quality should be included in the assessment of indoor environmental quality. In many systems for sustainability assessment of buildings is put a great emphasis on indoor environmental quality. This paper provides an overview of sustainability assessment systems for rating of indoor environmental quality. The criteria included in LEED, BREEAM and other well known systems for assessment of indoor environmental quality are presented. Building environmental assessment system (BEAS) developed for application in Slovakia is also introduced. Worldwide used rating systems were based on the development of BEAS. This is multi-criteria system contained six main fields such as site selection and project planning; building construction; indoor environment; energy performance; water and waste management. System consist from 53 indicators of assessment.

Jakość środowiska wnętrza budynku (IEQ) ma duży wpływ na zdrowie i dobre samopoczucie użytkowników. W celu utrzymania akceptowalnego stanu IEQ, zostały przedstawione strategie, polityki, i wytyczne co do osiągania wymaganego IEQ. Wykazano potrzebę kontrola i oceny czynników lotniczych wewnątrz budynku dla zapewniania wystarczającej jakości powietrza. Przy oszacowaniu jakości środowiska wnętrza budynku, przy określaniu stopnia czystości powietrza, powinny być wzięte pod uwagę również wpływy emisji materiałów budowlanych, wyposażenia i systemów HVAC. W wielu systemach przykłada się duży nacisk na oszacowanie jakość środowiska wewnętrznego na trwałości budynków. W artykule przedstawiono przegląd systemów oceny trwałości oszacowania jakości środowiska wnętrza budynku. Zaprezentowano kryteria zamieszczone w LEED, BREEAM i innych dobrze znanych systemach określających jakość środowiska wnętrza. Zaprezentowano również system oceny środowiska w budynkach (BEAS) przygotowany do zastosowania na Słowacji. Systemy oceny, używane na świecie są oparte o podobne systemy BEAS. Są to wielokryterialne systemy obejmujące sześć głównych obszarów takich jak wybór miejsca i projektu; konstrukcję budynku; środowisko wewnętrzne; wydajność energetyczną; zarządzanie wodą i odpadami. System ten składa się z oceny 53 wskaźników.

Polityka zrównoważonego rozwoju coraz częściej pojawia się w strategiach przedsiębiorstw. Na poziomie operacyjnym szczególnie w przypadku małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw, pojawiają się liczne problemy związane z doborem odpowiednich wskaźników oraz oceną stanu obecnego i identyfikacją obszarów wymagających usprawnień. Celem artykułu jest prezentacja metodyki oceny poziomu zrównoważonego rozwoju w przedsiębiorstwach zajmujących się przetwarzaniem samochodów wycofanych z eksploatacji. Autorka prezentuje główne założenia metodyki oraz prezentuje przykład jej zastosowania.
