Environmental Criteria for Buildings
13. APPENDICES: BUILDING ASSESSMENT SYSTEMS
13.1. Appendix: EU Ecolabel for new buildings (Draft) – EC
In 2008, the European Ecolabelling scheme started an Ad-hoc Working Group on a
European Ecolabel for buildings. The first drafts have been prepared under the lead of the
Italian Competent Body (ISPRA). In 2010, the leadership was handed over to Joint Research
Centre's Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (JRC-IPTS) whose first report was
drafted in October 2010 starting with the analysis of the previous draft criteria studies and the
product group definition and priorisation (BOYANO&WOLF, 2010). The progress of the work
can be followed through the website: http://susproc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/buildings.
The latest draft considered in the study at hand is ISPRA’s third draft in May 2010 (EU ECO-
LABEL, 2010). The following table illustrates the main issues up for discussion.
