Abstract :
This paper discusses a software application that will assist those involved in any of the stages of the housing development lifespan to make informed decisions based on the sustainability assessment of the entire development. This will lead to harmonization of the design of housing compounds with the environmental design and sustainability parameters and to the promotion of sustainable development practices.
