Envirospec have developed an equitable product specification which defines a practical system of comparison between competing building products, enabling the consumer to easily identify the products contribution to sustainability. This inclusive life-cycle analysis is slightly contentious however, as many assumptions are made in reference to the manufacture, transport, construction, demolition, and even the products in-service performance. ‘In-service performance’ for example, is the specification of levels of insulation to achieve desired energy minimisation.
The second part of the protocol provides for collection of data for subsequent use in life-cycle analysis. Once all the information is gathered it will, then become part of this new specification and environmental declaration.
The CodeMark Scheme enables Architects, Builders, Engineers to choose building products, that they can be sure meet the expectations of the Building Code of Australia.
