Abstract
Building materials are selected according to their characteristics and properties, which include the mechanical properties and functional, aesthetic and durability, and economic aspects, this paper aims to add sustainability criteria to these considerations strongly , to protect environment and the future of human life on earth. To achieve this goal , environmental criteria to selection of building have been studied , then the researcher make a survey of developments modern building materials for sustainability, then a study of available tools that can assist the architect to select building materials and comprise between the available alternatives has been studied . In this paper, tools presently available for the selection of building materials are overviewed and discussed, they include four tools , Environmental assessment methods , materials eco-labeling , materials Technical datasheets , Environmental Product Declarations.
