EU GPP criteria for infrastructure
EU GPP Advisory Group, 14th March 2013
Joint Research Centre, Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS)
2
GPP infrastructure criteria areas
Proposed to follow new procurement-led approach introduced by
wastewater infrastructure criteria document
• Construction (ICLEI, 2008)
• Office buildings (JRC-IPTS, 2011-ongoing)
• Wastewater infrastructure (COWI, 2012-ongoing)
• Road construction (JRC-IPTS, 2012-ongoing)
Building components: Windows, thermal insulation, lighting, CHP
EU GPP criteria for office buildings
EU GPP Advisory Group, 14th March 2013
Joint Research Centre, Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS)
Update on GPP office building criteria
• Overview of current criteria set
- How they relate to life cycle and procurement stages
- Position on construction materials and products
• Proposed redraft of criteria document
- Illustration of how procurement options could be reflected
• Outlook on criteria development
Life cycle stages of an office building As reflected in the proposed criteria areas
Feasibility

Detailed design
Procurement
Construction
Post-completion
Production phase
- Energy performance and renewable energy
- Rational use of resources/materials
- Responsible sourcing
- Construction and demolition waste
- Hazardous substances
- Indoor air quality
- Thermal, acoustic and visual comfort
- Water saving technologies
Use phase
- Energy metering and training
- Water management system
- Air tightness and commissioning
- Recycling facilities
End-of-life phase
- Demolition waste
Construction material criteria
Currently proposing to omit the ‘use of construction materials and
products complying with certain environmental criteria’
• Stakeholders favoured selection from whole building perspective
- Alignment with CEN/TC 350 (EN 15643)
- But very limited practical implementation by industry
• EPD option considered, comparison at component or product level
- Four mature EU EPD schemes
- But only benchmarking within schemes supports improvement
• Proposed within DG ENV Product Environmental Footprint pilot
- Attempt to standardise EPD methodology
- But timescale for implementation and limited coverage
- Potential for future convergance of EPD benchmarks
SCI guide: Construction procurement How can we better relate the criteria to processes?
Proposed approach: Relate criteria to common procurement routes
Different procurement routes imply different levels of client control
over the design, specification, management and LCC of the building
• Traditional contract (FIDIC* red book)
• Design and build (FIDIC yellow book)
• Design, build, operate and finance
- Energy Performance Contracting (FIDIC silver book)
Frameworks for the call-down of services may also be relevant
* Fédération Internationale des Ingéniurs Conseils
Example 1: Design then contract (red) Design-led throughout the construction process

Outlook on GPP criteria development
Adoption is proposed in parallel with new
Communication on Sustainable buildings (end of 2013)
1. Redraft of criteria document (March - May)
2. Consultation with stakeholders/procurers (June - Sept)
3. Presentation of revised criteria to GPP AG (Oct)
4. Interservices consultation on GPP criteria (Nov - Dec)
EU GPP criteria for road construction and traffic signs
EU GPP Advisory Group, 14th March 2013
Joint Research Centre, Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS)
Road Construction
Current EU GPP criteria on road construction
and traffic signs (2010)
Traffic signs
“The preparation and building of a road using
materials, including aggregate, bituminous
binders and additives that are used for the sub-
base, road-base and surfacing layers of the road”
Sign facings (containing the sign’s message)
Substrates (the backing onto which the facing is attached)
Fixings the frame onto which the sign is mounted

Revision EU GPP criteria on road construction
and traffic signs
Scope proposal
New approach
A more comprehensive process
Inspiration from the 'Procuring Innovative and Sustainable
Construction. A guide for European Public Authorities' edited by SCI-
network, and the ongoing draft criteria and technical background
report for Wastewater (WWT) infrastructure works
The criteria would be set in the entire procurement process
(planning, design, construction and maintenance phases)
19 April 2013
Road phases
1. The raw materials phase
2. The production phase
(manufacturing of materials for the road,
transport of materials to the construction
site etc.)
3. The road construction phase
19 April 2013
4. The use phase (largest potential environmental
impacts), to be considered at two different levels of
the road design:
- in the planning phase: the inclusion of the traffic has
great significance when various routes are investigated
- during the design and construction phases, the
use phase has to be considered in relationship to the
choice of construction materials able to reduce the
rolling resistance and hence to reduce the fuel
consumption of vehicles
5. The maintenance and operation phase
6. The end-of-life phase
19 April 2013
Include in the scope
earth mounds = noise barriers of soil (integrated part of the earth works)
drainage and run off systems (as in current criteria)
Exclude in the scope
Road markings (included in the EU GPP criteria for paints and varnishes)
Street lighting and traffic signals (covered by EU GPP criteria for street lighting and
traffic signals)
Information systems (small amounts of energy compared to the energy consumption
through the full life cycle of a road)
Noise barriers requiring construction materials as metals, wood etc.
Foundations or lighting of traffic signs (as in the current criteria 2010)
Other types of road furniture (pedestrian walkways, bollards, overhead gantries and
central reservations, as in the current criteria 2010)
19 April 2013
Literature
approximate influence of the traffic signs below 1% of the phases raw
materials extraction, construction, operation and maintenance
If the daily traffic is taken into account (including the fuel consumption of cars and
trucks), the traffic signs only contribute to less than approx. 0,1% of the total
potential environmental impacts during the full life cycle of a road
Traffic signs, because they are of minor importance to the total potential
environmental impacts in the whole life cycle of a road
Traffic signs are not taken into consideration in:
GPP criteria for the Sustainable Public
Procurement of Roads developed by the Dutch
Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the
Environment in 2010
GPP criteria for road construction actually under
development by the Italian Environment Ministry
19 April 2013
Forthcoming questionnaire
Questions particularly addressed to the GPP Advisory Group:
Approaches to criteria development
Procurement volumes
Contract types used in road construction and maintenance
procurements (FIDIC?)
Experience in application of GPP criteria
Recommendations

Preliminary report (scope and definition, market analysis, technical
analysis and improvement potential) and the draft criteria area
(January-July 2013)
Consultation with stakeholders/procurers (July-September 2013)
First Ad Hoc Working Group: presentation of the draft criteria
(September 2013)
Technical report and criteria (October-December 2013)
