Nachhaltigkeit von Bauwerken - Bewertung der Nachhaltigkeit von Gebäuden - Teil 2: Rahmenbedingungen für die Bewertung der umweltbezogenen Qualität

Diese Europäische Norm ist Teil einer Reihe Europäischer Normen und enthält die spezifischen Grundsätze und Anforderungen an die Bewertung von Gebäuden hinsichtlich ihrer umweltbezogenen Qualität unter Berücksichtigung der technischen Eigenschaften und Funktionalität eines Gebäudes. Die Beschreibung der umweltbezogenen Qualität ist ein Aspekt der Nachhaltigkeitsbeschreibung von Gebäuden im Kontext der allgemeinen Rahmenbedingungen von EN 15643-1. Die Rahmenbedingungen gelten für alle Arten von Gebäuden und sind für die Bewertung der umweltbezogenen Qualität bei neuen Gebäuden über deren gesamten Lebenszyklus und bei Bestandsgebäuden für deren restliche Lebensdauer und die Entsorgungsphase maßgeblich. In dieser Normenreihe beschränkt sich die umweltbezogene Dimension der Nachhaltigkeit auf die Beschreibung der Umweltauswirkungen und -aspekte eines Gebäudes hinsichtlich der lokalen, regionalen und globalen Umwelt. Die Ökobilanz wird beurteilt und zusätzliche quantifizierbare umweltbezogene Informationen werden an Hand von quantifizierten Indikatoren angegeben. Der Einfluss des Gebäudes auf die Umweltaus-wirkungen und –aspekte der örtlichen Infrastruktur über das Gebäudegrundstück hinaus sowie die Umwelt-auswirkungen und –aspekte infolge der Fahrten von Nutzern zu und von dem Gebäude werden nicht beurteilt. Die Analyse der Umweltrisiken wird ebenfalls nicht behandelt. Die unter diesen Rahmenbedingungen entwickelten Normen enthalten weder Regeln, wie die unterschiedlichen Verfahrensweisen der Beurteilung von Gebäuden zu Bewertungsverfahren weiterentwickelt werden können, noch schreiben sie Grenzwerte, Klassen oder Richtwerte für die Bemessung der Qualität vor.

Contribution des ouvrages de construction au développement durable - Évaluation des bâtiments - Partie 2: Cadre pour l’évaluation des performances environnementales

La présente Norme européenne fait partie d'une série de Normes européennes et présente les principes et exigences spécifiques de l'évaluation des performances environnementales des bâtiments en prenant en compte leurs caractéristiques techniques et fonctionnelles. L’évaluation des performances environnementales n’est qu’un aspect de l’évaluation de la contribution au développement durable des ouvrages de construction tel que décrit dans le cadre général de l'EN 15643-1.
Le cadre méthodologique s’applique à tous les types de bâtiments et concerne l’évaluation des performances environnementales des bâtiments neufs tout au long de leur cycle de vie, et celles des bâtiments existants pour leur durée de vie restante et leur phase de fin de vie.
Dans la présente série de normes, la dimension environnementale de la contribution au développement durable se limite à l'évaluation des impacts et aspects environnementaux d'un bâtiment sur l'environnement à l’échelle locale, régionale et globale. L'évaluation est basée sur une analyse du cycle de vie et les informations environnementales quantifiables supplémentaires sont exprimées à l'aide d'indicateurs quantifiés. Elle exclut l'évaluation de l'influence d'un bâtiment sur les impacts  et aspects environnementaux liés à l'infrastructure locale au-delà de la parcelle, et sur les impacts et aspects environnementaux liés au transport des utilisateurs du bâtiment. Elle ne comprend pas non plus l'analyse des risques environnementaux.
Les normes élaborées dans ce cadre méthodologique ne définissent pas de règles concernant la façon dont les différents programmes d'évaluation peuvent fournir des méthodes de notation. Elles ne prescrivent pas non plus de niveaux, classes ou références comparatives pour situer les performances.

EN 15643-2:2011 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard forms part of a series of European Standards, written by CEN/TC 350, that provide a system for the sustainability assessment of buildings using a life cycle approach. The sustainability assessment quantifies impacts and aspects to assess the environmental, social and economic performance of buildings using quantitative and qualitative indicators, both of which are measured without value judgements. The purpose of this series of standards is to enable comparability of the results of assessments. This series of European Standards does not set benchmarks or levels of performance. This series of standards will allow the sustainability assessment, i.e. the assessment of environmental, social and economic performance of a building, to be made concurrently and on an equal footing, on the basis of the same technical characteristics and functionality of the object of assessment. The sustainability assessment of buildings uses different types of information. The results of a sustainability assessment of a building provide values for the different types of indicators, the related building scenarios and on the life cycle stages included in the assessment. In carrying out assessments, scenarios and a functional equivalent are determined at the building level. Assessment at the building level means that the descriptive model of the building with the major technical and functional requirements has been defined in the client's brief or in the regulations, as illustrated in Figure 1. Assessments can be undertaken for the whole building, for parts of the building, which can be used separately, or for elements of the building. Although the evaluation of technical and functional performance is beyond the scope of this series of standards, the technical and functional characteristics are considered within this framework by reference to the functional equivalent. The functional equivalent takes into account the technical and functional requirements and forms a basis for comparisons of the results of the assessment. Any particular demands for, or related to, the environmental, social and economic performance defined in the client’s brief, or in regulations, may be declared and communicated. Figure 1 shows how the functional equivalent and the technical and functional characteristics that differ from those required, either by the client's brief or through regulations, are to be declared and communicated with the results of the assessment.

EN 15643-2:2011 (E) 5 In concept, the integrated building performance incorporates environmental, social and economic performance as well the technical and functional performance, and these are intrinsically related to each other, as illustrated in Figure 2. Although the assessment of technical and functional performance does not form part of this series of standards, their interrelationship with environmental, social and economic performance is prerequisite for an assessment of sustainability performance of buildings and, therefore, is taken into account. It is advisable to carry out an assessment at the earliest opportunity during the conceptual stages of a construction or refurbishment project such as in the sketch plan stage in order to provide a broad estimate of the environmental performance, social performance and economic performance. As the project evolves the assessment may be periodically reviewed and updated to support decision making. A final assessment (as-built) should be carried out. The results of this final assessment can be used to inform all parties concerned.
NOTE The darkened boxes represent the work programme of CEN/TC 350. Figure 2 – The work programme of CEN/TC 350 This European Standard EN 15643-2 is Part 2 of the framework standards for sustainability assessment of buildings. The purpose of EN 15643-2 is to provide a framework with principles, requirements and guidelines to assess the environmental performance of buildings. It focuses on the principles and requirements for the assessment of the environmental performance of a building as described at the "framework level" in Figure 2. In the drafting of this European Standard, ISO 21930 and ISO 21931-1 have been taken into consideration. SIST EN 15643-2:2011



EN 15643-2:2011 (E) 6 The first revision of the general framework standard, EN 15643-1, will combine all four parts of the framework of this series of standards into one framework standard. This will ensure simultaneous revision of the interlinked parts of the frameworks within the series of standards. In the future, the assessment methodologies within this series of standards may be part of an overall assessment of integrated building performance. The assessment methodologies may also be extended to an assessment of the neighbourhoods and wider built environment.

EN 15643-2:2011 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard forms one part of a series of European Standards and provides the specific principles and requirements for the assessment of environmental performance of buildings taking into account technical characteristics and functionality of a building. Assessment of environmental performance is one aspect of sustainability assessment of buildings under the general framework of EN 15643-1. The framework applies to all types of buildings and it is relevant for the assessment of the environmental performance of new buildings over their entire life cycle, and of existing buildings over their remaining service life and end of life stage. In this series of standards, the environmental dimension of sustainability is limited to the assessment of environmental impacts and aspects of a building on the local, regional and global environment. The assessment is on Life Cycle Assessment and additional quantifiable environmental information expressed with quantified indicators. It excludes the assessment of a building’s influence on the environmental impacts and aspects of the local infrastructure beyond the area of the building site, and environmental impacts and aspects resulting from transportation of the users of the building. It also excludes environmental risk assessment. The standards developed under this framework do not set the rules for how different building assessment schemes may provide valuation methods. Nor do they prescribe levels, classes or benchmarks for measuring performance. NOTE Valuation methods, levels, classes or benchmarks may be prescribed in the requirements for environmental, social and economic performance in the client’s brief, building regulations, national standards, national codes of practice, building assessment and certification schemes, etc. The rules for assessment of environmental aspects of organizations are not included within this framework. However, the consequences of decisions or actions that influence the environmental performance of the object of assessment are taken into account. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
