Sustainability in buildings and civil engineering works - Data templates for the use of EPDs for construction products in BIM (ISO/DIS 22057:2021)

This document provides the principles and requirements to enable environmental and technical data provided in Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for construction products and services, construction elements and integrated technical systems to be used in building information modelling (BIM) to assist in the assessment of the environmental performance of the construction works over its life cycle. The mechanism used in this document to enable this is a data template created following ISO 23386 and ISO/FDIS 23387 and the resulting data sheet.
This includes both mandatory and voluntary data from different types of EPD, such as generic, specific, average and representative, and other relevant information necessary for use of EPD at the construction works level within a BIM environment.
This document gives requirements on structuring EPD information using a data template, to make EPD data machine interpretable, and enable their integration into information-driven design, construction and operational processes. This document will also be appropriate to structure generic life cycle assessment (LCA) data for use within a BIM environment, as this data is required in the absence of suitable EPD data to enable assessment of the environmental performance at construction works level.
The assessment of environmental performance at the construction works level is not covered by this document.

Nachhaltigkeit von Bauwerken - Datenvorlagen für die Verwendung von EPDs für Bauprodukte in BIM (ISO/DIS 22057:2021)

Dieses Dokument liefert die Grundsätze und Anforderungen für die Verwendung von in Umweltproduktdeklarationen (EPD) für Bauprodukte und -dienstleistungen, Bauelemente und integrierte technische Systeme bereitgestellten umweltbezogenen und technischen Daten zur Bauwerksinformationsmodellierung (BIM) mit dem Ziel, bei der Beurteilung der umweltbezogenen Qualität der betreffenden Bauwerke über deren gesamten Lebensweg zu helfen.
Bei dem hierfür in diesem Dokument verwendeten Mechanismus handelt es sich um eine Datenvorlage, die in Übereinstimmung mit ISO 23386 und ISO 23387 und dem resultierenden Datenblatt erstellt wurde.
Dies schließt sowohl obligatorische als auch optionale Daten aus verschiedenen Arten von EPD, wie z. B. generische, spezifische, gemittelte und repräsentative sowie sonstige maßgebliche Informationen ein, die für die Verwendung von EPD auf der Bauwerksebene in einer BIM-Umgebung notwendig sind.
Dieses Dokument enthält Anforderungen an die Strukturierung der EPD-Informationen mit Hilfe einer Datenvorlage, die dazu dient, EPD-Daten maschineninterpretierbar zu machen und ihre Einbindung in informationsgesteuerte Entwurfs-, Bau und Betriebsprozesse zu ermöglichen.
Dieses Dokument eignet sich auch zur Strukturierung von generischen Ökobilanz(LCA)-Daten zur Verwendung in einer BIM-Umgebung, weil diese Daten, wenn keine geeigneten EPD-Daten vorliegen, erforderlich sind, um die Beurteilung der umweltbezogenen Qualität auf der Bauwerksebene zu ermöglichen.
Die in diesem Dokument enthaltenen Anforderungen werden durch technische Informationen zu Bauprodukten und -dienstleistungen, Bauelementen und integrierten technischen Systemen ergänzt. Dieses Dokument empfiehlt, bei der Strukturierung von Informationen dieselben Grundsätze (Datenvorlagenkonzepte) anzuwenden und bestehende, von anderen Sachverständigen der betreffenden Domäne erstellte technische Informationen zu nutzen.
BEISPIEL In Europa sind Sachverständige für die Anwendung der Bauprodukte-Verordnung (BPV) dafür verantwortlich, technische Informationen basierend auf Europäischen Harmonisierten Normen zu strukturieren. Diese Informationen stehen möglicherweise bereits in einem Datenkatalog zur Verfügung, und EPD- und Ökobilanz-Sachverständigen wird nahegelegt, sie für die technische Beschreibung von Produkten in EPD zu verwenden.
Dieses Dokument soll dabei helfen, die verschiedenen Vorlagenkonzepte und ihre Beziehung zu EPD-Informationen zu verstehen, und Anwender in die Lage versetzen, neue, ihren spezifischen Erfordernissen entsprechende Konzepte zu erstellen.
ANMERKUNG So könnten z. B. Sachverständige, die Unterkategorie-PCR (en: sub-category PCR) nach ISO 21930 oder ergänzende PCR (c-PCR, en: complementary PCR) nach EN 15804 erarbeiten, eine Datenvorlage für zusätzliche spezifische Anforderungen in den Unterkategorie-PCR oder c-PCR für die betreffende Produktgruppe erstellen.
Die Beurteilung der umweltbezogenen Qualität auf der Bauwerksebene wird von diesem Dokument nicht abgedeckt.

ISO/DIS 22057:2020(E)
Introduction

Environmental product declarations (EPDs) are Type III environmental declarations (see ISO 14025) that

provide quantified environmental data using predetermined parameters based on ISO 14040 and ISO

14044 and, where relevant, additional environmental information. ISO 21930 and EN 15804 are two

standardized sources of the core product category rules (PCR) to develop EPDs for construction products

to provide modular data to enable consistent assessment of environmental impacts at the construction

works level.

All types of assessment at construction works level are complex and building information modelling

(BIM) provides a process for describing and displaying information required in the planning, design,

construction and operation of constructed facilities. The BIM approach is expanding to encompass all

aspects of the built environment, including civil infrastructure, utilities and public spaces. Designers,

owners and other stakeholders in the construction sector are increasingly looking to BIM to enable them

to address the environmental impacts of construction works.

ISO 19650 sets out the recommended concepts and principles for business processes to support the

management and production of information during the life cycle of constructed assets when using BIM.

To do this, standardization is of the highest importance. Machine-interpretable data is essential to

provide a reliable and sustainable exchange of information, and a data template supports the

standardized provision of data in machine-interpretable data sheet formats for use in BIM. The data

provided in EPDs, like other construction product data, is therefore needed in a machine-interpretable

format to enable its use in BIM.

Data templates enable construction project stakeholders to exchange information about construction

objects throughout the life cycle of a constructed asset, using the same data structure, terminology, and

globally unique identifiers to enable the data to be machine-interpretable and interoperable. Data

templates should be standardized and made available across the built environment sector through data

dictionaries based on ISO 12006-3. Data templates should be used in conjunction with the data schema

and industry foundation classes based on ISO 16739-1.

This document provides and explains the data template structure to support the provision of both EPD

and generic LCA data in standardized machine-interpretable data sheet formats to assist in the

assessment of the environmental performance of the construction works over its life cycle. The data

template structure in this standard is based on the general data template structure in ISO 23387.

Providing the data from an EPD according to either ISO 21930 or EN 15804 in machine-interpretable

format means some information will need to be standardized in ways not considered in those standards.

Historically, the indicator data for gate-to-grave information modules from machine-interpretable EPD

were often not used because the description of the scenario information was not concurrently provided

in machine-interpretable format, and/or the data were not provided in a sufficiently flexible fashion to

allow adaption for different scenarios at the construction works level. Responding to these needs, this

document provides specifications for the provision of gate-to-grave scenario data for EPD in machine-

interpretable formats, so the data are more appropriate for environmental assessment at the

construction works level when using BIM.

Figure 2 shows the relationship between this document and other standards for buildings and civil

engineering works related to building information modelling (BIM) and sustainability

Users of this document should be able to find the data template described in this document in existing

data dictionaries, but in case there is a data dictionary that does not support the structure, they should

be able to recreate the data template structure in their own implementations using the information

provided in this document (see Annex A).

Sustainability in buildings and civil engineering works – Data
templates for the use of EPDs for construction products in BIM
1 Scope

This document provides the principles and requirements to enable environmental and technical data

provided in environmental product declarations (EPDs) for construction products and services,

construction elements and integrated technical systems to be used in building information modelling

(BIM) to assist in the assessment of the environmental performance of the construction works over its

life cycle.

The mechanism used in this document to enable this is a data template created following ISO 23386 and

ISO 23387 and the resulting data sheet.

This includes both mandatory and optional data from different types of EPD, such as generic, specific,

average and representative, and other relevant information necessary for use of EPDs at the construction

works level within a BIM environment.

This document gives requirements on structuring EPD information using a data template, to make EPD

data machine-interpretable, and enable their integration into information-driven design, construction

and operational processes.

This document is also appropriate to structure generic life cycle assessment (LCA) data for use within a

BIM environment, as these data are required in the absence of suitable EPD data to enable assessment of

the environmental performance at the construction works level.

The requirements in this document are further supplemented by technical information about

construction products and services, construction elements and integrated technical systems. This

document recommends the use of the same principles for structuring information (data template

concepts) and the use of existing technical information created by other domain experts.

EXAMPLE In Europe, Construction Products Regulation (CPR) experts are responsible for structuring

technical information based on European Harmonised Standards. This information might already exist in a data

dictionary, and EPD/LCA experts are advised to use it for the technical description of products in EPD

This document is intended to help in the understanding the different template concepts and their relation

to EPD information and to enable users to create new concepts according to their specific needs.

NOTE For example, experts developing sub-category PCR according to ISO 21930 or complementary

PCR (c-PCR) according to EN 15804 could create a data template for additional specific requirements in

the sub-category PCR or c-PCR for the relevant product group.

The assessment of environmental performance at the construction works level is not covered by this

document.
