IBO - Environmental and Health related Criteria for Buildings Definition of “environmental” and “health related” in the context of this study Building assessment indicators are based on the challenge to meet demands for new and renovated facilities that are affordable, accessible, secure, while minimizing their impact on the environment and health, well-being and productivity of the users. Beyond these building assessment indicators the weakest common denominator is achieved in regard to environmental and health related aspects. What are the most import impacts of building construction and operation on environment and health? Which indicators can be used to describe these impacts? Which benchmarks can be set in order to reach sustainable development? In order to give answers to these questions the study is limited to environmental and health related aspects of building construction and operation – being aware that only a comprehensive view can represent the complexity of buildings and built environment which is out of the scope of this study Building construction and operation have extensive direct and indirect impacts on the environment. Buildings use resources such as energy, water, land, and raw materials, generate waste (occupant, construction and demolition). They contribute to climate change and emit potentially harmful emissions to water, air and soil (WBDG, 2011). These impacts are measured by environmental indicators. In doing so the aspect of the life cycle of buildings is very important. The health related indicators considered in the study at hand are restricted to the operation phase and construction site. The most relevant building related aspects of health during operation phase are indoor air, comfort and noise. 3.5. Procedure The first step of approach shall be a consideration of different existing building assessment systems with special attention to the communalities. The building assessment systems may use similar indicators but conceptually handle them differently. These different approaches should be described with their advantages and disadvantages and conclusions drawn which concept would be useful for consumers. The next level will be the choice of indicators that will have to be exemplified. This step led to the following categories for which an in-depth analysis should be carried out: - Life cycle assessment (LCA) with focus on building material - Energy demand and CO 2 -emissions with focus on operation phase - Daylighting - Emissions on construction site - Chemicals in building materials / indoor air The following background papers and systems will be screened in regard to the purpose of the study - ANEC studies and position papers on EPDs and LCA - CEN and ISO documents considering sustainability of construction work (particularly CEN TC 350, CEN TC 351, ISO TC 59/ SC 17) Final Report 20 31 03 2011
IBO - Environmental and Health related Criteria for Buildings - European directives (particularly Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), Construction Products Directive (CPD), Energy Related Products Directive (ERP, formerly EuP), Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) ) - Building assessment systems (particularly draft EU Eco-Label, BREEAM/Code for Sustainable Homes, LEED, DGNB, SB Tool, TQB) - Green public procurement tools (particularly EU GPP, ÖkoKauf Wien, public building in the region of lake constance, criteria of the sustainable construction and innovation (SCInetwork) and criteria for eco labels (particularly EU Eco-label, natureplus) Final Report 21 31 03 2011
