Abstract
The aim of the publication is to introduce and explain new Environment Assessment Tool for Longevity (ETAL) - author’s philosophy, advocacy tool and certification standard in building environment for the elderly. According to the definition of health by World Health Organization, in contemporary architectural design and planning a building can be seen as a means of preventative care. It means designing in such way, to make a healthy lifestyle the easiest possible choice.
