International LCA Data Network - Demonstration Project for an Open International Online Database Structure
The open international online database structure for LCA of building materials shall allow open access to EPD(environmental product declaration)data from all participating databases.The way these EPD data can be used,e.g.within certification schemes or for LCA at building level,nonetheless can follow national rules.This undertaking calls for a high transparency of data content and data quality.In many European member states national EPD programmes in conformity to EN ISO 14025 were established,producing EPDs in conformity to EN 15804.In order to use EPD data for LCA at building level,the EPD data needs to be available in a database in machine readable form.The independent development of these databases brings the risk of a great variety of data formats and thus the danger of incompatibility of data.Additionally,the Product Category Rules(PCRs)differ from one programme to the other,as for some aspects EN 15804 gives only a frame.In order to overcome these problems,a project has been launched by the German BMUB/BBSR(Federal Institute for Research on Building,Urban Affairs and Spatial Development)which shall demonstrate the concept and implementation of an open international LCA-database network for EPDs.Starting point is the already existing infrastructure around the database(O)KOBAUDAT established within the Assessment System for Sustainable Building(BNB).These existing tools have to be adapted in order to meet the challenges of an open international data network.The project is based on various precedent projects and will be finished in August 2017.Results of the project are a conceptual framework as well as a concept for the necessary technical applications and a technical implementation on lab level for demonstration purposes.
