| Abstract |
The Dutch Building Decree, as in force since April 2012, stipulated that by January 1 st, 2013 a calculation of material environmental performance for a dwelling or office building should be delivered at submission of the environmental (building) permit. The aim of this requirement is to encourage more conscientious decisions by a regulated uniform determination method. Environmental and life cycle properties of the materials chosen and design variants should so be enabled to be subject to consciousness. Furthermore, the development of sustainable initiatives and innovation should be stimulated. During the preparation of the Building Decree 2012 the so called "Determination Method Environmental Performance of Buildings and Infrastructural Works in Combination with the National Environmental Database" and the "Green Deal Environmental Performance Calculation" became available for application. Precurring the publication of limit values for sustainability in the Building Decree, exercises are executed based on these methods and promoted by the Ministry and market parties. The paper will elaborate on this development, the methods used and the results obtained. |
