The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interest
10、ed in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Co

In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents

16、cal Specification is intended for use by stakeholders involved during the life cycle of a construction works. More and more decision makers involved in construction projects are establishing goals to improve the sustainability performance of a construction works.Decision making typically relates to
17、the planning, design, construction, use and operation, and end-of-life processes. The planning and design phases usually include the project inception/initiation, conception of need and feasibility, and initial and detailed design, all of which lead to the actual construction and occupancy of the bu
18、ilding.The objective of providing the guidance included in this Technical Specification is to demonstrate to each actor at each phase of the construction project a way to implement the nine general principles of sustainability in buildings and civil engineering works, as described in ISO 15392.Altho
19、ugh the following topics are currently outside the scope of this Technical Specification, these guidelines can also facilitate the different actors in identifying and setting performance targets, elaborating relevant practical tools (criteria, indicators, measurement methods) for assessing/measuring
20、 the actual performance levels, and formalizing a management system based on the general principles of sustainability, which can be monitored, assessed, and improved.Application of the nine general principles to the life cycle of construction works introduces a multidimensional puzzle leading to a c
21、omplex framework. Clause 4 presents the different primary elements of the framework and the related facets to be considered regarding each element. Clause 5 introduces the methodological approach for applying sustainability thinking to the development of the construction works and identifies six pha
22、ses of the decision-making process and 10 sustainability objectives. Clause 6 gives application guidance developed on the basis of these objectives and related issues of concern (see Table 3) and detailed recommendations attached to each issue (see Table 4).

23、2720:2014Sustainability in buildings and civil engineering works Guidelines on the application of the general principles in ISO 153921 ScopeThis Technical Specification provides guidance for the application of the general principles of sustainability in buildings and civil engineering works elaborat
24、ed in ISO 15392. It shows the different actors involved with the construction works how to take these principles into account in their decision-making processes in order to increase the contribution of the construction works to sustainability and sustainable development.This Technical Specification
25、provides a step-by-step approach for encouraging the application of the general principles by all stakeholders at each stage of the project and its use, from the decision to build and the initial development of the project brief until the end-of-life of the construction works, helping interested par
26、ties to consider and/or incorporate sustainability thinking in all phases of the buildings or civil engineering works life cycle, for all relevant issues of concern, by raising key questions in relation to the general principles, understanding the outcome (effect) of the application of the general p
27、rinciples, and building on acquired experience to develop best practices and engendering a continuous improvement process.NOTE See Annex A for the list of the nine general principles.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and a

For general terms and definitions related to construction works, service life plann
35、ing, and environmental management systems and life cycle assessment, the terms and definitions in ISO 6707-1, ISO/TR 15686-11, and ISO 14050 apply.Where conflicts arise, the terms and definitions within ISO 15392 and ISO/TR 21932 govern.4 Elements of the frameworkSustainability related to buildings
36、and civil engineering works is a complex issue, and the application of a holistic approach is one of its general principles. When incorporating sustainability thinking into the different processes involved in the development of a construction works, it is important and relevant to keep in mind the e
37、lements presented in Table 1, as pieces of a multidimensional puzzle to be assembled. It is important to note that, often, different individual aspects will interrelate with one another.Table 1 Primary elements for considerationPrimary elements Facets to be consideredPrimary aspects of sustainabilit
