The document provides the specific methods and requirements for the assessment of environmental, economic and social performances of a civil engineering works while taking into account the civil engineering work’s functionality and technical characteristics. The primary objective of this document is to help in the decision making for a project by providing a standardized method for enabling comparability of scheme options. The document has not been designed to be used for the development of sustainability labels however, this use is not precluded.

The assessment of environmental and economic performances of a civil engineering works is based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Cost (LCC), Whole-Life Cost (WLC) and other quantified environmental and economic information. The approach to the assessment covers all stages of the civil engineering works life cycle and includes all civil engineering works related construction products, processes and services, used over its life cycle. The document is applicable to new and existing civil engineering works and refurbishment projects. The environmental performance is based on data obtained from Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and additional indicators.

The assessment of social performance differs from the assessment of economic and environmental aspects because it requires both quantitative and descriptive approaches.

The document provides requirements for:

  • the description of the object of assessment;

  • the system boundary that applies at the civil engineering works level;

  • the procedure to be used for the analysis;

  • definition of the indicators to be declared, information to be provided and the way in which they are collated and reported,

  • presentation of the results in reporting and communication;

  • the data necessary for the application of the standard and calculation.

Whenever the asset includes building(s) as part of the civil engineering works the building(s) will be assessed using EN 15978 for environmental performance, EN 16309 for social performance and EN 16627 for economic performance.
