- Running the EPD Programme in Austria (field office)
- Establishment of a consistent and unified basis for the production of EPD throughout Austria, the basis can be used for all LCA-productions in construction industry
- This basis must be supported by a wide spread consensus in the building community – all interested circles and stakeholders must be involved.
- Maximum possible harmonization and compliance with other European EPD Programmes must be achieved
- Above that the Bau-EPD GmbH will consider the correct way of communication and use of EPD, in particular the impression of a quality label or eco-label must not be inspired
- Another important goal – to be achieved in the middle term – is the further development of standards for environmental assessment of construction products (are the chosen indicators relevant at all? Which indicators might be missing?)
These achievements shall lead to consistent and comparable datasets that can be used in all Austrian building certification schemes.
