Conclusions<br />
Construction site activities are responsible <strong>for</strong> environmental impacts (e.g. soil erosion, soil<br />
contamination, loss of biodiversity, air pollution, waste) <strong>and</strong> nuisances such as dust <strong>and</strong><br />
noise (caused by traffic from <strong>and</strong> to the building site, construction machines, etc.).<br />
The analysis of different building assessment systems shows two different approaches in<br />
defining <strong>criteria</strong> to minimise these effects:<br />
- Process-oriented ratings (i. e. existence of Quality Management Systems, experience of<br />
designers in waste reduction, implementation of <strong>Environmental</strong> Management Systems or<br />
other certification schemes by constructors). These <strong>criteria</strong> aim at a continuous<br />
improvement of processes on the construction site, but do not guarantee the fulfilment of<br />
definite objectives.<br />
- Target-oriented ratings: require specific measures to be set on construction site <strong>and</strong><br />
provide detailed in<strong>for</strong>mation to achieve defined target values or levels of quality.<br />
