The papers provides an overview of current standardiz<strong>at</strong>ion work of CEN regarding sustainability<br />
of construction works as well as the role of <strong>building</strong> certific<strong>at</strong>ion systems in the design of<br />
innov<strong>at</strong>ive façades. In the first part, the upcoming CEN standards are explained as well as the new<br />
Construction Products Regul<strong>at</strong>ion with its new Basic Requirement No. 7 – Sustainable use of<br />
n<strong>at</strong>ural resources. In the second part of the paper current intern<strong>at</strong>ional and n<strong>at</strong>ional <strong>building</strong><br />
certific<strong>at</strong>ion systems are described. In the third part with a comparison of <strong>building</strong> certific<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
systems regarding their relevance and completeness of assessment criteria for façades is<br />
undertaken. In the case of the Multifunctional Plug and Play Façade (MPPF) the design<br />
consequences for the development of innov<strong>at</strong>ive façades are explained and it is investig<strong>at</strong>ed the<br />
extent to which the assessment criteria used in <strong>building</strong> certific<strong>at</strong>ion systems can be influence by<br />
façade design according to the MPPF design principles. In the last part of the paper it is explained<br />
how this might be integr<strong>at</strong>ed in the planning process to guarantee a better predictability of<br />
sustainability in the development of façades. Using a system<strong>at</strong>ic approach could be one way in<br />
coping with the complexity of different requirements.<br />
