dc.description.abstractConstruction is a significant contributor to environmental problems and climate change across various issues, such as resource consumption, energy demand, and waste generation. Research into sustainable building materials and their performance is required to minimize construction's environmental impact. The Harmless Home project aims to reduce this environmental harm through a holistic, sustainable approach with materials, water, electric, and septic systems, including solar panels to generate energy, water capture systems, and a new sustainable block material called Just BioFiber (JBF). This study analyzed subjective and objective measurements of four critical Key Performance Indicators: Energy and Emissions, Water, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Cost. The project was evaluated using Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) approaches. The International Initiative for a Sustainable Built Environment (iiSBE) protocol was followed to investigate and analyze the results.en_US
