Abstract

The degree of knowledge transfer achieved by Green Building Challenge (GBC) on environmental performance assessment (EPA) of buildings is analysed and compared against its initial objectives. A structured survey was issued to each of the 20 national teams which assessed the degree of success achieved against their initial learning objectives. Measures of success were both internal level (micro - within the team) and external level (macro - relative to the wider national interest). The results indicate the GBC 'process' as a good model for an accelerated knowledge transfer vehicle both within teams and at the national level at large. However, some modifications and adjustments are suggested for future global strategies of co-operation. Le degreacute de transfert de connaissances atteint par le GBC (Green Building Challenge) sur l'eacutevaluation des performances eacutecologiques du bacirctiment est analyseacute et compareacute agrave ses objectifs de deacutepart. Chacune des 20 eacutequipes a fait l'objet d'une eacutetude structureacutee. Cette eacutetude a pour fonction d'eacutevaluer le degreacute de succegraves atteint par rapport aux objectifs d'eacutetude d'origine. Ce succegraves a eacuteteacute mesureacute agrave la fois au niveau interne (micro, dans l'eacutequipe) et au niveau externe (macro, par rapport agrave l'inteacuterecirct national). Les reacutesultats preacutesentent le 'proceacutedeacute' GBC comme un bon modegravele pour obtenir un moyen plus rapide de transfert des connaissances dans les eacutequipes elles-mecircmes et au niveau national. Certaines modifications et ajustements sont neacuteanmoins proposeacutes pour les strateacutegies mondiales de coopeacuteration future.
