OverviewDeriving the underlying data: Life Cycle Assessment

Cradle to grave

OverviewCalculating a single indicator: Ecopoints

BRE Impact Categories Units

Climate change Kg CO2 eq. (100 yr)

Water extraction m3 water extracted (gross)

Mineral resource extraction Tonnes of mineral extracted

Stratospheric ozone depletion Kg CFC-11 eq.

Human toxicity Kg 1,4 dichlorobenzene (1,4-DB) eq.

Ecotoxicity to fresh water Kg 1,4 dichlorobenzene (1,4-DB) eq.

Nuclear waste (higher level) mm3 high level waste

Ecotoxicity to land Kg 1,4 dichlorobenzene (1,4-DB) eq.

Waste disposal Tonnes of solid waste

Fossil fuel depletion MJ

Eutrophication Kg phosphate (PO4) eq.

Photochemical ozone creation Kg ethene (C2H4) eq.

Acidification Kg sulphur dioxide (SO2) eq.

Normalisation

– The impact of one European citizen per year

– Allows direct comparison of impacts

Weightings

– Required to achieve relative importance

– ..and for a single score

– Created by a panel of 10 European experts.

– Peer reviewed

– Geographically specific to Europe

– Basis of BRE Ecopoints

100 Ecopoints = impact of 1 EU citizen per year

How Ecopoints transfer to A+ to E ratings

Ecopoints for Floor Finishing Options

Ecopoint scale

– Different scale of ecopoints for each building element, and sometimes different scales for each building type

– Based on generic profiles

What do you get from an Environmental Profile?

Certificate Environmental Product

Declaration

Environmental Profiles Report

What don’t you get from an Environmental Profile?

Physical Properties- Thermal properties- Acoustic properties

Emissions In-situ-IAQ and VOCs

Benefits of an Environmental Profile

• Green Guide Rating can be used to compare:

– Materials with similar functions

– Specifications with similar functions

– Building designs over their expected lifetimes

• Credits in BREEAM

• Product differentiation

• Competitive advantage

• Open new markets

Cross-listing against Existing Certificates

Criteria for cross-listing:

–The product to be cross-listed against must have an existing Environmental Profile Certification.

–The product to be cross-listed must have no additional manufacturing by the owner or by the company buying in the product. (It is the same product that has been certified e.g. re-branded with a different name)

–Cross listing is dependent upon valid certification of original product.
