LCA as performance requirement in the Dutch building decree by 2001
conference paper
In February 1998 the Dutch government decided to implement sustainability re-quirements by the year 2001 in the Dutch building Decree. Part of these require-ments shall be a performance requirement for the environmental influence of the total use of materials, determined by LCA (life cycle analyses), for dwellings or residential buildings.
In order of the Ministry of Housing, Physical Planning and Environment, TNO develops the determination method for that requirement and advises the Ministry about the performance criteria.
The determination method shall be performance based. In the method a solution shall be given for:
a. modelling a dwelling or residential building in streams of materials at the stage of a building permit, a moment that not all decisions about specifica-tions of materials are taken;
b. modelling of the streams of materials for building elements which are nec-essary to get a pentuit and modelling of streams of materials which are not part of the building plan but can be build later on, free of a building per-mit;
c. modelling of the streams of materials of combined buildings (a dwelling and other type of building like a offices which dwelling and other building together are one work);
d. the environmental model to calculate the environmental effects of the ma-terials used during the lifetime of a dwelling or residential building;
e. differences in results due to different types of dwellings or residential buildings (differences in Hoorarea, differences in appearance and so on); calculations rules have be developed toto recalculate the results to an entity to which entity in the Decree performance criteria shall be given
