Developing, validating and implementing performance metrics to evaluate the health and safety performance of sustainable building projects.

This research aims to develop, validate and implement health and safety performance metrics to evaluate the health and safety performance of sustainable building projects throughout their design and construction in Manitoba. Thirty-four metrics were developed following a detailed literature review and validated by expert judgement based on analytic soundness, practicality and predictability. Only 25 metrics satisfied these criteria, of which five were implemented via data collected on seven sustainable buildings and seven non-sustainable buildings.
