The model takes into account the standard PN-EN 16309+A1:2014-12, which generally provides methods and requirements for assessing the social performance of buildings. The authors, for the purposes of the model particularise the scope of the assessment category and set threshold values and the weight of particular social indicators. The model is treated as a contribution to developing a method for comprehensive assessment of the social characteristics of buildings.

The authors present the result of research regarding the monitoring of two buildings undergoing refurbishment: an industrial hall and a multi-storey general use building. Refurbishment of the industrial building included upgrading an existing production line, associated with an increased technological load. In the general-use building the foundations were strengthened in connection with the construction of a new multi-storey building in the immediate vicinity. The process of reinforcing footings, or – pilings – was monitored, as well as the preservation of an existing building, during the course of the construction of the new building.
