heal.abstract	Given the limited resources, an effective way of prioritizing brownfield rehabilitation could be according to the total costs and benefits produced by each site. Aside from the potential return from a profitable new use, brownfield rehabilitation benefits also come from contamination and stigma elimination. The latter, however, are not directly incorporated in the market, and therefore a comparable value is missing. Environmental valuation methods could monetize environmental enhancement in order to attain the comparison of benefits with remediation costs, on the same basis. Towards this direction, an interactive tool is currently being developed, namely the Greek Environmental Valuation Database (GEVAD), on the grounds of the benefit transfer method. This tool can facilitate the valuation of brownfield external costs and benefits, improving the justification of rehabilitation funds.	en
