Every building should be designed, constructed, used and de-constructed in a sustainable way.

Essential Requirements 1. Mechanical resistance and

stability 2. Safety in case of fire 3. Hygiene, health and the

environment (use stage) 4. Safety in use 5. Protection against noise 6. Energy economy and heat

retention

Basic Work Requirements 1. Mechanical resistance and

stability 2. Safety in case of fire 3. Hygiene, health and the

environment (life cycle) 4. Safety in use 5. Protection against noise 6. Energy economy and heat

retention 7. Sustainability

The final official version of the CPR, as adopted on 9 March 2011 and published in the Official Journal of European Union of 4 April. The CPR has been fuly enforced on 1 July 2013.

CPD → CPR

Every building shall be designed, constructed, used and de-constructed in a sustainable way.

Ministry of Economy, National Procurement Office, public bodies (like City of Warsaw) associations of producers and research organizations (like ITB) work together on the product and services criteria to support GPP. Criteria are partly based on EC guidelines and on the national consensus.

Some criteria documents has been already finished like: street lights, theromo isulations products.

New criteria coming soon…EPDs promoted.

NATIONAL PROGRAM FOR GREEN PUBLIC PROCUREMENT GPP

These criteria can be used in a procurement process as 5-20% of all evaluation

Our current research projects on sustainability

OPEN HOUSE - Benchmarking and mainstreaming building sustainability in the EU based on transparency and openness (open source and availability) from model to implementation. OPEN HOUSE (2010-2013), EC-funded Project, ENV-2009-244130, financed by the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission. 70 buildings in Europe under assessment in 2012

• SUSTAINABILITY IS OUR EFFECTIVENESS • EPD IS IMPORTANT TOOL BUT LCA IS DIFFICULT EVEN

FOR EXPERTS • PARTICIPATION TO HARMONIZATION PROCESS IS

NECCESITY • WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPLEMENTATION AND GLOBAL CHANGE
