    Extending the ILCD Format to Support Environmental Product Declarations of Construction Products
    (Proceedings of the 27th Conference on Environmental Informatics - Informatics for Environmental Protection, Sustainable Development and Risk Management, 2013) Kusche, Oliver; Düpmeier, Clemens; Braune, Anna; Brockmann, Tanja; Rössig, Stephan
    The German Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development (BBSR) is publishing a database of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for construction materials and components, the KOBAU.DAT. The data format is based on the European Commission s International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD) data format, which has been extended to fit the specific needs of this application. With the new EN 15804 standard for Environmental Product Declarations for construction products, the KOBAU.DAT as well as the underlying data format needed to be revised to comply with the new standard. In order to make it easier for software tool developers to adapt tools to the EPD data format, it is desired to make the EPD format as much as possible compatible with the ILCD format. In this paper, it is bescribed how the ILCD data format can be used with only a few minor additions to describe Environmental Product Declarations for construction products according to EN 15804.

    Towards a Complete Tool Chain for Eco-Balancing Governmental Buildings

    With the Assessment System for Sustainable Buildings for Federal Buildings (BNB), Germany is pioneering the implementation of certification systems for Sustainable Buildings in Europe. Using BNB methodology and tools, building products are not assessed as individual products, but looked at within the context of the entire building and its parts. The most important impacts of the building on the global environment (i.e. environmental burdens like ozone depletion or consumption of resources like energy and water) are assessed by means of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology and are calculated according to the Type III Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) standard for building products described in ISO 14025 and EN 15804. This paper will describe the tool chain needed to first calculate EPD data sets in LCA tools, store them in a central repository, the ÖKOBAU.DAT, and how the EPD data sets can then be used in other tools for calculating the environmental footprint of an entire building.
