Technische Bewertungskriterien

Technical screening criteria Substantial contribution to the transition to a circular economy 1. All generated construction and demolition waste is treated in accordance with Union waste legislation and the full checklist of the EU Construction and Demolition Waste Management Protocol, in particular by setting sorting systems and pre-demolition audits (98). The preparing for re-use (99) or recycling (100) of the non-hazardous construction and demolition waste generated on the construction site is at least 70 % (by mass in kilogrammes), excluding backfilling (101). This excludes naturally occurring material referred to in category 17 05 04 in the European List of Waste established by Decision 2000/532/EC. The operator of the activity demonstrates compliance with the 70 % threshold by reporting on the Level(s) indicator 2.2 (102) using the Level 2 reporting format for different waste streams. 2. The life cycle Global Warming Potential (GWP) (103) of the building’s renovation works has been calculated for each stage in the life cycle, from the point of renovation, and is disclosed to investors and clients on demand. 3. Construction designs and techniques support circularity via the incorporation of concepts for design for adaptability and deconstruction as outlined in Level(s) indicators 2.3 and 2.4 respectively. The operator of the activity demonstrates compliance with this requirement by reporting on the Level(s) indicators 2.3 (104) and 2.4 (105) at Level 2. (98) EU Construction and Demolition Waste Management Protocol, Annex F (version of 27.6.2023: https://ec.europa.eu/docsroom/ documents/20509/). (99) ‘Preparing for re-use’ means checking, cleaning or repairing recovery operations, by which products or components of products that have become waste are prepared so that they can be re-used without any other pre-processing. This includes, for instance, the preparation for re-use of certain parts of buildings like roof elements, windows, doors, bricks, stones or concrete elements. A pre- requisite for the preparation for re-use of building elements is usually the selective deconstruction of buildings or other structures. (100) ‘Recycling’ means any recovery operation by which waste materials are reprocessed into products, materials or substances whether for the original or other purposes. It includes the reprocessing of organic material but does not include energy recovery and the reprocessing into materials that are to be used as fuels or for backfilling operations. (101) ‘Backfilling’ means any recovery operation where suitable non-hazardous waste is used for purposes of reclamation in excavated areas or for engineering purposes in landscaping. Waste used for backfilling must substitute non-waste materials, be suitable for the aforementioned purposes, and be limited to the amount strictly necessary to achieve those purposes. (102) See Level(s) indicator 2.2: Construction and demolition waste and materials, user manual: introductory briefing, instructions and guidance (Publication version 1.1), https://susproc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/product-bureau//sites/default/files/2021-01/ UM3_Indicator_2.2_v1.1_40pp.pdf. For reporting, the Excel spreadsheet available on the Commission website is to be used: Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) and materials Excel template: for estimating (Level 2) and recording (Level 3) amounts and types of CDW and their final destinations (version 1.1), https://susproc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/product-bureau/product-groups/412/ documents. (103) The GWP is communicated as a numeric indicator for each life cycle stage expressed as kgCO2e/m2 (of useful internal floor area) averaged for one year of a reference study period of 50 years. The data selection, scenario definition and calculations are carried out in accordance with EN 15978 (BS EN 15978:2011. Sustainability of construction works. Assessment of environmental performance of buildings. Calculation method). The scope of building elements and technical equipment is as defined in the Level(s) common EU framework for indicator 1.2. Where a national calculation tool exists, or is required for making disclosures or for obtaining building permits, the respective tool may be used to provide the required disclosure. Other calculation tools may be used if they fulfil the minimum criteria laid down by the Level(s) common EU framework, see Level(s) indicator 1.2: Lifecycle Global Warming Potential (GWP), user manual: introductory briefing, instructions and guidance (Publication version 1.1), https://susproc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ product-bureau/sites/default/files/2021-01/UM3_Indicator_1.2_v1.1_37pp.pdf. (104) See Level(s) indicator 2.3: Design for adaptability and renovation, user manual: introductory briefing, instruction and guidance (Publication version 1.1), https://susproc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/product-bureau//sites/default/files/2021-01/ UM3_Indicator_2.3_v1.1_23pp.pdf. (105) See Level(s) indicator 2.4: Design for deconstruction user manual: introductory briefing, instructions and guidance (Publication version 1.1), https://susproc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/product-bureau/sites/default/files/2021-01/UM3_Indicator_2.4_v1.1_18pp.pdf. OJ L, 21.11.2023 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2023/2486/oj 57/164 4. At least 50 % of the original building is retained. This is to be calculated based on the gross external floor area retained from the original building using the applicable national or regional measurement methodology, alternatively using the definition of ‘IPMS 1’ contained in the International Property Measurement Standards (106). 5. The use of primary raw material in the renovation of the building is minimised through the use of secondary raw materials (107). The operator of the activity ensures that the three heaviest material categories that have been newly added to the building in the renovation of the building, measured by mass in kilogrammes, comply with the following thresholds regarding the maximum amount of primary raw material used: (a) for the combined total of concrete (108), natural or agglomerated stone, a maximum of 85 % of the material comes from primary raw material; (b) for the combined total of brick, tile, ceramic, a maximum of 85 % of the material comes from primary raw material; (c) for bio-based materials (109), a maximum of 90 % of the material comes from primary raw material; (d) for the combined total of glass, mineral insulation, a maximum of 85 % of the material comes from primary raw material; (e) for non-biobased plastic, a maximum of 75 % of the material comes from primary raw material; (f) for metals, a maximum of 65 % of the material comes from primary raw material; (g) for gypsum, a maximum of 83 % of the material comes from primary raw material. The thresholds are calculated by subtracting the secondary raw material from the total amount of each material category used in the works measured by mass in kilogrammes. Where the information on the recycled content of the construction product is not available, it is to be counted as comprising 100 % primary raw material. In order to respect the Waste Hierarchy and thereby favour re-use over recycling, re-used construction products, including those containing non-waste materials reprocessed on site, are to be counted as comprising zero primary raw material. Compliance with this criterion is demonstrated by reporting in accordance with the Level(s) indicator 2.1 (110). (106) International Property Measurement Standards: All Buildings. Published by the International Property Measurement Standards Coalition (IPMSC), https://ipmsc.org/. (107) For the purposes of the Delegated Act, ‘secondary raw materials’ means materials that have been prepared for re-use or recycled in accordance with Article 3 of the Waste Framework Directive and have ceased to be waste under Article 6 of that Directive. (108) This concerns the material concrete, including its constituent ingredients (for example, aggregates). Any steel reinforcement is excluded since this is a different material which can be accounted for under metals. (109) Bio-based materials are made using biological resources (animals, plants, micro-organisms and derived biomass, including organic waste), as defined in COM(2018) 673. They include conventional bio-based materials made traditionally from biomass (such as wood, cork, natural rubber, paper, textiles, wooden construction materials) and more recently developed materials such as bio-based chemicals or bio-based plastics.

OJ L, 21.11.2023 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2023/2486/oj 58/164 6. The operator of the activity uses electronic tools to describe the characteristics of the building as built, including the materials and components used, for the purpose of future maintenance, recovery, and reuse, for example using EN ISO22057:2022 to provide Environmental Product Declarations (111). The information is stored in a digital format and is made available to investors and clients on demand. In addition, the operator of the activity ensures the long-term preservation of this information beyond the useful life of the building by using the information managing systems provided by national tools, such as cadastre or public register. Do no significant harm (‘DNSH’) (1) Climate change mitigation The building is not dedicated to extraction, storage, transport or manufacture of fossil fuels. (2) Climate change adaptation The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix A to this Annex. (3) Sustainable use and protec tion of water and marine resources Where installed as part of the renovation works, except for renovation works in residential building units, the specified water use for the following water appliances are attested by product datasheets, a building certification or an existing product label in the Union, in accordance with the technical specifications laid down in Appendix E to Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139: (a) wash-hand basin taps and kitchen taps have a maximum water flow of 6 litres/min; (b) showers have a maximum water flow of 8 litres/min; (c) WCs, including suites, bowls and flushing cisterns, have a full flush volume of a maximum of 6 litres and a maximum average flush volume of 3,5 litres; (d) urinals use a maximum of 2 litres/bowl/hour. Flushing urinals have a maximum full flush volume of 1 litre. (5) Pollution prevention and control Building components and materials used in the construction comply with the criteria set out in Appendix C to this Annex. Building components and materials used in the construction that may come into contact with occupiers (112) emit less than 0,06 mg of formaldehyde per m3 of test chamber air upon testing in accordance with the conditions specified in Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and less than 0,001 mg of other categories 1A and 1B carcinogenic volatile organic compounds per m3 of test chamber air, upon testing in accordance with EN 16516 or ISO 16000-3:2011 (113) or other equivalent standardised test conditions and determination methods. Measures are taken to reduce noise, dust and pollutant emissions during construction or maintenance works.
