IBO - Environmental and Health related Criteria for Buildings - Centre scientifique et technique du bâtiment (France) - Deutsche Gesellschaft für nachhaltiges Bauen (Germany) - Fundaçao Carlos Alberto Vanzolini (Brazil) - Instituto per le technologie della construzione del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche. (Italy) - Valtion Teknillinen Tutkimuskeskus (Finland) Ecolabel (European Community) 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 requirements have to be met: Ecolabels may only be awarded to a product possessing characteristics which enable it to contribute significantly to improvements in relation to key environmental aspects. For buildings, the ecological criteria should be divided into mandatory and optional criteria. These criteria aim to set limits on the main environmental impacts from the three phases of the life cycle of buildings (project, construction, use and maintenance, refurbishment, end of life). In particular they aim to: - limit energy, water and materials consumption, - limit waste production and enhance recycling, - favour the use of materials with high environmental performances - favour the use of renewable resources and of substances which are less hazardous to the environment, - favour indoor well-being, - promote information and education on a correct management of the building The product group “buildings” shall comprise “buildings considered in their entirety, as well as small houses, new or existing, public or private, used for residential purpose and for use as offices”. Individual apartments and flats in a building are excluded; new buildings include also major refurbishments; existing buildings include also renovations. For details see 13.1 Appendix: EU Ecolabel for new buildings (Draft) – EC Standardisation Since 2005, a technical committee of CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation) numbered CEN/TC 350 has been working on a framework for “Sustainability of construction works". CEN TC 350 is responsible for Final Report 26 31 03 2011
IBO - Environmental and Health related Criteria for Buildings - the development of voluntary horizontal standardized methods for the assessment of the sustainability aspects of new and existing construction works and - for standards for the environmental product declaration of construction products. The standards shall be relevant for the assessment of integrated performance of buildings over its life cycle. The goal is a harmonized methodology for assessment of environmental performance of buildings and life cycle cost performance of buildings as well as the quantifiable performance aspects of health and comfort of buildings. On contrary to the existing building assessment systems, CEN/TC 350 focuses on life cycle assessment (LCA) in order to assess the environmental performance of buildings. Since 2009 CEN/TC 350 published Technical Reports and European Standards, many of them under development, are expected to be published in 2013 the latest. Besides: Parallel to CEN/TC 350 the International Standard Organisation (ISO/TC 59, SC 17) is developing a series of standards in the field of "Sustainability in construction works". Even for members of CEN/TC 350 it seems very difficult to keep the subtile distinctions between the scopes of CEN and ISO standards apart. Final Report 27 31 03 2011
