Sustainability in buildings and civil engineering works - Data templates for the use of environmental product declarations (EPDs) for construction products in building information modelling (BIM) (ISO 22057:2022)

This document provides the principles and requirements to enable environmental and technical data provided in Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for construction products and services, construction elements and integrated technical systems to be used in building information modelling (BIM) to assist in the assessment of the environmental performance of the construction works over its life cycle. The mechanism used in this document to enable this is a data template created following ISO 23386 and ISO/FDIS 23387 and the resulting data sheet.
This includes both mandatory and voluntary data from different types of EPD, such as generic, specific, average and representative, and other relevant information necessary for use of EPD at the construction works level within a BIM environment.
This document gives requirements on structuring EPD information using a data template, to make EPD data machine interpretable, and enable their integration into information-driven design, construction and operational processes. This document will also be appropriate to structure generic life cycle assessment (LCA) data for use within a BIM environment, as this data is required in the absence of suitable EPD data to enable assessment of the environmental performance at construction works level.
The assessment of environmental performance at the construction works level is not covered by this document.

Nachhaltigkeit von Bauwerken - Datenvorlagen für die Verwendung von EPDs für Bauprodukte in BIM (ISO 22057:2022)

Dieses Dokument liefert die Grundsätze und Anforderungen für die Verwendung von in Umweltproduktdeklarationen (EPD) für Bauprodukte und -dienstleistungen, Bauelemente und integrierte technische Systeme bereitgestellten umweltbezogenen und technischen Daten zur Bauwerksinformationsmodellierung (BIM) mit dem Ziel, bei der Beurteilung der umweltbezogenen Qualität der betreffenden Bauwerke über deren gesamten Lebensweg zu helfen.
Bei dem hierfür in diesem Dokument verwendeten Mechanismus handelt es sich um eine Datenvorlage, die in Übereinstimmung mit ISO 23386 und ISO 23387 und dem resultierenden Datenblatt erstellt wurde.
Dies schließt sowohl obligatorische als auch optionale Daten aus verschiedenen Arten von EPD, wie z. B. generische, spezifische, gemittelte und repräsentative sowie sonstige maßgebliche Informationen ein, die für die Verwendung von EPD auf der Bauwerksebene in einer BIM-Umgebung notwendig sind.
Dieses Dokument enthält Anforderungen an die Strukturierung der EPD-Informationen mit Hilfe einer Datenvorlage, die dazu dient, EPD-Daten maschineninterpretierbar zu machen und ihre Einbindung in informationsgesteuerte Entwurfs-, Bau und Betriebsprozesse zu ermöglichen.
Dieses Dokument eignet sich auch zur Strukturierung von generischen Ökobilanz(LCA)-Daten zur Verwendung in einer BIM-Umgebung, weil diese Daten, wenn keine geeigneten EPD-Daten vorliegen, erforderlich sind, um die Beurteilung der umweltbezogenen Qualität auf der Bauwerksebene zu ermöglichen.
Die in diesem Dokument enthaltenen Anforderungen werden durch technische Informationen zu Bauprodukten und -dienstleistungen, Bauelementen und integrierten technischen Systemen ergänzt. Dieses Dokument empfiehlt, bei der Strukturierung von Informationen dieselben Grundsätze (Datenvorlagenkonzepte) anzuwenden und bestehende, von anderen Sachverständigen der betreffenden Domäne erstellte technische Informationen zu nutzen.
BEISPIEL In Europa sind Sachverständige für die Anwendung der Bauprodukte-Verordnung (BPV) dafür verantwortlich, technische Informationen basierend auf Europäischen Harmonisierten Normen zu strukturieren. Diese Informationen stehen möglicherweise bereits in einem Datenkatalog zur Verfügung, und EPD- und Ökobilanz-Sachverständigen wird nahegelegt, sie für die technische Beschreibung von Produkten in EPD zu verwenden.
Dieses Dokument soll dabei helfen, die verschiedenen Vorlagenkonzepte und ihre Beziehung zu EPD-Informationen zu verstehen, und Anwender in die Lage versetzen, neue, ihren spezifischen Erfordernissen entsprechende Konzepte zu erstellen.
ANMERKUNG So könnten z. B. Sachverständige, die Unterkategorie-PCR (en: sub-category PCR) nach ISO 21930 oder ergänzende PCR (c-PCR, en: complementary PCR) nach EN 15804 erarbeiten, eine Datenvorlage für zusätzliche spezifische Anforderungen in den Unterkategorie-PCR oder c-PCR für die betreffende Produktgruppe erstellen.
Die Beurteilung der umweltbezogenen Qualität auf der Bauwerksebene wird von diesem Dokument nicht abgedeckt.

Développement durable dans les bâtiments et ouvrages de génie civil - Modèles de données pour l’utilisation des déclarations environnementales de produits (DEP) pour les produits de construction dans la modélisation des informations de la construction (BIM) (ISO 22057:2022)

Le présent document fournit les principes et les exigences permettant d’utiliser les données environnementales et techniques fournies dans les DEP pour les produits et services de construction, les éléments de construction et les systèmes techniques intégrés dans le cadre du BIM afin de faciliter l’évaluation de la performance environnementale d’un ouvrage de construction tout au long de son cycle de vie.
Le présent document fournit des exigences relatives à la structuration des informations de DEP au moyen d’un modèle de données conformément à l’ISO 23386 et l’ISO 23387, afin de rendre les données de DEP interprétables par machine et de permettre leur intégration dans les étapes de conception, construction, exploitation et fin de vie basées sur l’information.
Le présent document s’applique également à la structuration des données génériques de l’ACV à utiliser dans un environnement BIM, car ces données sont requises en l’absence de données de DEP spécifiques pour permettre l’évaluation de la performance environnementale au niveau de l’ouvrage de construction.
L’évaluation de la performance environnementale au niveau de l’ouvrage de construction n’est pas traitée dans le présent document.

Trajnostnost stavb in gradbenih inženirskih objektov - Podatkovne predloge za uporabo okoljskih deklaracij proizvodov (EPD) za gradbene proizvode v informacijskem modeliranju stavb (BIM) (ISO 22057:2022)

Ta dokument podaja načela in zahteve, ki omogočajo uporabo okoljskih in tehničnih podatkov, navedenih na okoljski deklaraciji o proizvodu (EPD) za gradbene proizvode in storitve ter konstrukcijske elemente in vgrajene tehnične sisteme, pri informacijskem modeliranju gradenj (BIM) za lažje ocenjevanje okoljskega učinka gradbenih objektov v njihovem življenjskem ciklu. Mehanizem, uporabljen v tem dokumentu, ki to omogoča, je podatkovna predloga, ustvarjena v skladu s standardoma ISO 23386 in ISO/FDIS 23387 ter podatkovnim listom, ki temelji na navedenih standardih.
Slednji vključuje obvezne in prostovoljno navedene podatke iz različnih vrst okoljskih deklaracij o proizvodu, kot so splošni, posebni, povprečni in reprezentativni podatki, ter druge pomembne informacije, ki so potrebne za uporabo okoljskih deklaracij o proizvodu na ravni gradbenih objektov v okolju informacijskega modeliranja gradenj.
Ta dokument podaja zahteve za strukturiranje podatkov na okoljskih deklaracijah o proizvodu z uporabo podatkovne predloge, da se omogoči strojna berljivost podatkov na okoljskih deklaracijah o proizvodu ter njihovo vključevanje v postopke načrtovanja, gradnje in obratovanja. Ta dokument bo primeren tudi za strukturiranje splošnih podatkov o oceni življenjskega cikla (LCA), namenjenih uporabi v okolju informacijskega modeliranja gradenj, saj so ti podatki potrebni za ocenjevanje okoljskega učinka na ravni gradbenih objektov, kadar ustrezni podatki iz okoljske deklaracije o proizvodu niso na voljo.
Ocena okoljskega učinka na ravni gradbenih objektov ni zajeta v tem dokumentu.

SIST EN ISO 22057:2022
ISO 22057:2022(E)
Introduction
Environmental product declarations (EPDs) are Type III environmental declarations (see
ISO 14025) that provide quantified environmental data using predetermined parameters based on
ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 and, where relevant, additional environmental information. ISO 21930,
EN 15804:2012+A1:2013 and EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 are standardized sources of the core product
category rules (PCR) to develop EPDs for construction products to provide modular data to enable
consistent assessment of environmental impacts at the construction works level.
All types of assessment at construction works level are complex; and building information modelling
(BIM) provides a process for describing and displaying information required in the planning, design,
construction, operation and end-of-life of constructed facilities. The BIM approach is expanding to
encompass all aspects of the built environment, including civil infrastructure, utilities and public
spaces. Designers, owners and other stakeholders in the construction sector are increasingly looking to
BIM to assist them in addressing the environmental impacts of construction works.
The ISO 19650 series sets out the recommended concepts and principles for business processes to
support the management and production of information during the life cycle of constructed assets
when using BIM. To do this, standardization is of the highest importance. Machine-interpretable data
are essential to providing a reliable and sustainable exchange of information; and a data template
supports the standardized provision of data in machine-interpretable data sheet formats for use in BIM.
The data provided in EPDs, like other construction product data, are therefore needed in a machine-
interpretable format to enable their use in BIM.
Data templates enable construction project stakeholders to exchange information about construction
objects throughout the life cycle of a constructed asset, using the same data structure, terminology,
and globally unique identifiers to enable the data to be machine-interpretable and interoperable. Data
templates should be standardized and made available across the built environment sector through data
dictionaries based on ISO 12006-3.
This document provides and explains the data template structure to support the provision of both
EPD and generic life cycle assessment (LCA) data in standardized machine-interpretable data sheet
formats to assist in the assessment of the environmental performance of the construction works over
its life cycle. The mechanism used in this document to enable this is a data template created following
ISO 23386 and ISO 23387 and the resulting data sheet.
This includes both mandatory and optional data from different types of EPD, such as, average EPD (see
ISO 21930:2017, Annex B), and other relevant information necessary for use of EPDs at the construction
works level within a BIM environment. Figure 1 shows the relationship between data, data templates,
data sheets, BIM and environmental assessment at the construction works level.
Figure 1 — Relationship between data, data templates, data sheets, BIM and environmental
assessment at the construction works level
Providing the data from an EPD according to ISO 21930, EN 15804:2012+A1:2013 or
EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 in machine-interpretable format means some information needs to be
standardized in ways not considered in those standards. Historically, the indicator data for gate-to-grave
information modules from a machine-interpretable EPD were often not used because the description
of the scenario information was not concurrently provided in machine-interpretable format; and/or
the data were not provided in a sufficiently flexible fashion to allow adaption for different scenarios at

the construction works level. Responding to these needs, this document provides specifications for the
provision of gate-to-grave scenario data for an EPD in machine-interpretable formats, so the data are
more appropriate for environmental assessment at the construction works level when using BIM.
Figure 2 shows the relationship between this document and other standards for buildings and civil
engineering works related to BIM and sustainability.
Figure 2 — Relationship between BIM standards and sustainability standards
The requirements in this document are further supplemented by technical information about
construction products and services, construction elements and integrated technical systems so they
can be machine-interpretable. Technical information means requirements and conditions as stated
in standards and specifications relevant for construction products. This document recommends the
use of the same principles for structuring information (data template concepts) and the use of existing
technical information created by other domain experts. Annex D offers guidance on the delivery of
information according to the principles of this document according to the principles described in CWA
17316 and smart CE marking.
EXAMPLE In Europe, Construction Products Regulation (CPR) experts are responsible for creating and
maintaining technical information based on European harmonized standards.
This technical information in standards or technical specifications can already exist in a data dictionary;
and EPD/LCA experts can use it for the technical description of products in an EPD.

This document is intended to help in understanding the different template concepts and their relation
to EPD information and to enable users to create new concepts according to their specific needs.
NOTE For example, experts developing sub-category PCR according to ISO 21930 or complementary PCR
(c-PCR) according to EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 can create a data template for additional specific requirements in
the sub-category PCR or c-PCR for the relevant product group.
Users of this document should be able to find the data template described in this document in existing
data dictionaries; but in case there is a data dictionary that does not support the structure, they should
be able to recreate the data template structure in their own implementations using the information
provided in Annex A.
This document also ensures the alignment between the proposed approach in it and already existing
formats like ILCD + EPD, INIES and OpenEPD (see Annex B).

1 Scope
This document provides the principles and requirements to enable environmental and technical
data provided in EPDs for construction products and services, construction elements and integrated
technical systems to be used in BIM to assist in the assessment of the environmental performance of a
construction works over its life cycle.
This document gives requirements on structuring EPD information using a data template according to
ISO 23386 and ISO 23387, to make EPD data machine-interpretable and to enable their integration into
information-driven design, construction, use and end-of-life stages.
This document is applicable to structuring generic LCA data for use within a BIM environment, as
these data are required in the absence of suitable EPD data to enable assessment of the environmental
performance at the construction works level.
The assessment of environmental performance at the construction works level is not covered by this
document.

ISO/DIS 22057:2020(E)
Introduction
Environmental product declarations (EPDs) are Type III environmental declarations (see ISO 14025) that
provide quantified environmental data using predetermined parameters based on ISO 14040 and ISO
14044 and, where relevant, additional environmental information. ISO 21930 and EN 15804 are two
standardized sources of the core product category rules (PCR) to develop EPDs for construction products
to provide modular data to enable consistent assessment of environmental impacts at the construction
works level.
All types of assessment at construction works level are complex and building information modelling
(BIM) provides a process for describing and displaying information required in the planning, design,
construction and operation of constructed facilities. The BIM approach is expanding to encompass all
aspects of the built environment, including civil infrastructure, utilities and public spaces. Designers,
owners and other stakeholders in the construction sector are increasingly looking to BIM to enable them
to address the environmental impacts of construction works.
ISO 19650 sets out the recommended concepts and principles for business processes to support the
management and production of information during the life cycle of constructed assets when using BIM.
To do this, standardization is of the highest importance. Machine-interpretable data is essential to
provide a reliable and sustainable exchange of information, and a data template supports the
standardized provision of data in machine-interpretable data sheet formats for use in BIM. The data
provided in EPDs, like other construction product data, is therefore needed in a machine-interpretable
format to enable its use in BIM.
Data templates enable construction project stakeholders to exchange information about construction
objects throughout the life cycle of a constructed asset, using the same data structure, terminology, and
globally unique identifiers to enable the data to be machine-interpretable and interoperable. Data
templates should be standardized and made available across the built environment sector through data
dictionaries based on ISO 12006-3. Data templates should be used in conjunction with the data schema
and industry foundation classes based on ISO 16739-1.
This document provides and explains the data template structure to support the provision of both EPD
and generic LCA data in standardized machine-interpretable data sheet formats to assist in the
assessment of the environmental performance of the construction works over its life cycle. The data
template structure in this standard is based on the general data template structure in ISO 23387.

ISO/DIS 22057:2020(E)
Providing the data from an EPD according to either ISO 21930 or EN 15804 in machine-interpretable
format means some information will need to be standardized in ways not considered in those standards.
Historically, the indicator data for gate-to-grave information modules from machine-interpretable EPD
were often not used because the description of the scenario information was not concurrently provided
in machine-interpretable format, and/or the data were not provided in a sufficiently flexible fashion to
allow adaption for different scenarios at the construction works level. Responding to these needs, this
document provides specifications for the provision of gate-to-grave scenario data for EPD in machine-
interpretable formats, so the data are more appropriate for environmental assessment at the
construction works level when using BIM.

engineering works related to building information modelling (BIM) and sustainability

Users of this document should be able to find the data template described in this document in existing
data dictionaries, but in case there is a data dictionary that does not support the structure, they should
be able to recreate the data template structure in their own implementations using the information

Sustainability in buildings and civil engineering works – Data
templates for the use of EPDs for construction products in BIM
1 Scope
This document provides the principles and requirements to enable environmental and technical data
provided in environmental product declarations (EPDs) for construction products and services,
construction elements and integrated technical systems to be used in building information modelling
(BIM) to assist in the assessment of the environmental performance of the construction works over its
life cycle.
The mechanism used in this document to enable this is a data template created following ISO 23386 and
ISO 23387 and the resulting data sheet.
This includes both mandatory and optional data from different types of EPD, such as generic, specific,
average and representative, and other relevant information necessary for use of EPDs at the construction
works level within a BIM environment.
This document gives requirements on structuring EPD information using a data template, to make EPD
data machine-interpretable, and enable their integration into information-driven design, construction
and operational processes.
This document is also appropriate to structure generic life cycle assessment (LCA) data for use within a
BIM environment, as these data are required in the absence of suitable EPD data to enable assessment of
the environmental performance at the construction works level.
The requirements in this document are further supplemented by technical information about
construction products and services, construction elements and integrated technical systems. This
document recommends the use of the same principles for structuring information (data template
concepts) and the use of existing technical information created by other domain experts.
EXAMPLE In Europe, Construction Products Regulation (CPR) experts are responsible for structuring
technical information based on European Harmonised Standards. This information might already exist in a data
dictionary, and EPD/LCA experts are advised to use it for the technical description of products in EPD
This document is intended to help in the understanding the different template concepts and their relation
to EPD information and to enable users to create new concepts according to their specific needs.
NOTE For example, experts developing sub-category PCR according to ISO 21930 or complementary
PCR (c-PCR) according to EN 15804 could create a data template for additional specific requirements in
the sub-category PCR or c-PCR for the relevant product group.
The assessment of environmental performance at the construction works level is not covered by this
document.
