Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).

Introduction
With their extremely long period of use and large size compared with other industrial products,
concrete structures undergo damage and deterioration during this period due to a variety of mechanical
and environmental actions. Maintenance/remedial activities are therefore carried out during this
period of use to maintain their functions and performances. Remedial activities can also be carried out
to enhance their functions and performances to adapt to changes in the social circumstances. These
activities cause environmental impacts, such as input of resources including repair materials and fuels,
greenhouse gas emissions including CO , and waste disposal including construction wastewater and
concrete rubble. Therefore, environmental management related to maintenance/remedial activities
during the period of use of concrete structures is necessary.
For a concrete building, the energy consumed during the period of its use is known to be greater than
the energy consumed for activities such as the production of raw materials, production/transportation
of concrete, and construction/demolition of the building. Energy consumption for air conditioning,
lighting, etc., and the concomitant emission of greenhouse gas are particularly enormous. Though the
ISO 13315 series does not directly cover energy efficiency of air conditioning and lighting equipment,
it covers the case where reduction in the environmental impacts, such as reduction of energy
consumption, is achieved by utilizing the properties of concrete. This include, for instance, mitigation
of room temperature changes by the thermal mass property of concrete. It also includes the use of
pervious concrete to suppress the heat island phenomenon, which reduces the energy consumption
for air conditioning, with the concomitant reduction in the emission of greenhouse gas. On the other
hand, hazardous substances can leach or radiate from concrete during the period of use of concrete
structures. Therefore, appropriate management of such various environmental influences generated
during the period of use of concrete structures is also necessary.
