Abstract

In light of global changes and in line with the principles of sustainable development, there is a need to find criteria for assessing the sustainability of infrastructure in the construction sector. This paper provides an overview of the theory of sustainability in general and in the construction sector, as well as the policies and strategies at the global and national levels that aim to achieve sustainable development. Various rating systems for the sustainability assessment of infrastructure are listed as a methodology for evaluating the implementation of sustainable approaches in the realisation of new infrastructure projects. The three rating systems for sustainability assessment Envision, BREEAM Infrastructure and Infrastructure Sustainability (IS), which can be used to assess the sustainability of all types of infrastructure and to obtain a certificate for the application of sustainability principles, are presented and discussed in more detail.
