Introduction
This European Standard forms part of a series of European Standards, written by CEN/TC 350, that provide a
system for the sustainability assessment of buildings using a life cycle approach. The sustainability
assessment quantifies impacts and aspects to assess the environmental, social and economic performance of
buildings using quantitative and qualitative indicators, both of which are measured without value judgements.
The purpose of this series of standards is to enable comparability of the results of assessments. This series of
European Standards does not set benchmarks or levels of performance.
This series of standards will allow the sustainability assessment, i.e. the assessment of environmental, social
and economic performance of a building, to be made concurrently and on an equal footing, on the basis of the
same technical characteristics and functionality of the object of assessment.
The sustainability assessment of buildings uses different types of information. The results of a sustainability
assessment of a building provide values for the different types of indicators, the related building scenarios and
on the life cycle stages included in the assessment.
In carrying out assessments, scenarios and a functional equivalent are determined at the building level.
Assessment at the building level means that the descriptive model of the building with the major technical and
functional requirements has been defined in the client's brief or in the regulations, as illustrated in Figure 1.
Assessments can be undertaken for the whole building, for parts of the building, which can be used
separately, or for elements of the building.
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
Although the evaluation of technical and functional performance is beyond the scope of this series of
(standards.iteh.ai)
standards, the technical and functional characteristics are considered within this framework by reference to
the functional equivalent. The functional equivalent takes into account the technical and functional
requirements and forms a basis for comparisons SIST
of theENresults of the assessment.

Any particular demands for, or related to,b167-c2aa136f1d93/sist-en-15643-2-2011
the environmental, social and economic performance defined in the
client’s brief, or in regulations, may be declared and communicated. Figure 1 shows how the functional
equivalent and the technical and functional characteristics that differ from those required, either by the client's
brief or through regulations, are to be declared and communicated with the results of the assessment.

In concept, the integrated building performance incorporates environmental, social and economic performance
as well the technical and functional performance, and these are intrinsically related to each other, as
illustrated in Figure 2. Although the assessment of technical and functional performance does not form part of
this series of standards, their interrelationship with environmental, social and economic performance is
prerequisite for an assessment of sustainability performance of buildings and, therefore, is taken into account.
It is advisable to carry out an assessment at the earliest opportunity during the conceptual stages of a
construction or refurbishment project such as in the sketch plan stage in order to provide a broad estimate of
the environmental performance, social performance and economic performance. As the project evolves the
assessment may be periodically reviewed and updated to support decision making. A final assessment (as-
built) should be carried out. The results of this final assessment can be used to inform all parties concerned.
NOTE The darkened boxes represent the work programme of CEN/TC 350.
This European Standard EN 15643-2 is Part 2 of the framework standards for sustainability assessment of
buildings. The purpose of EN 15643-2 is to provide a framework with principles, requirements and guidelines
to assess the environmental performance of buildings. It focuses on the principles and requirements for the
assessment of the environmental performance of a building as described at the "framework level" in Figure 2.
In the drafting of this European Standard, ISO 21930 and ISO 21931-1 have been taken into consideration.

SIST EN 15643-2:2011
EN 15643-2:2011 (E)
The first revision of the general framework standard, EN 15643-1, will combine all four parts of the framework
of this series of standards into one framework standard. This will ensure simultaneous revision of the
interlinked parts of the frameworks within the series of standards.
In the future, the assessment methodologies within this series of standards may be part of an overall
assessment of integrated building performance. The assessment methodologies may also be extended to an
assessment of the neighbourhoods and wider built environment.

1 Scope
This European Standard forms one part of a series of European Standards and provides the specific
principles and requirements for the assessment of environmental performance of buildings taking into account
technical characteristics and functionality of a building. Assessment of environmental performance is one
aspect of sustainability assessment of buildings under the general framework of EN 15643-1.
The framework applies to all types of buildings and it is relevant for the assessment of the environmental
performance of new buildings over their entire life cycle, and of existing buildings over their remaining service
life and end of life stage.
In this series of standards, the environmental dimension of sustainability is limited to the assessment of
environmental impacts and aspects of a building on the local, regional and global environment. The
assessment is on Life Cycle Assessment and additional quantifiable environmental information expressed with
quantified indicators. It excludes the assessment of a building’s influence on the environmental impacts and
aspects of the local infrastructure beyond the area of the building site, and environmental impacts and aspects
resulting from transportation of the users of the building. It also excludes environmental risk assessment.
The standards developed under this framework do not set the rules for how different building assessment
schemes may provide valuation methods. Nor do they prescribe levels, classes or benchmarks for measuring
performance.
NOTE Valuation methods, levels, classes or benchmarks may be prescribed in the requirements for environmental,
social and economic performance in the client’s brief, building regulations, national standards, national codes of practice,
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
building assessment and certification schemes, etc.
(standards.iteh.ai)
The rules for assessment of environmental aspects of organizations are not included within this framework.
However, the consequences of decisions or actions that influence the environmental performance of the
object of assessment are taken into account.
