Why Needed?
• Environmental marketing claims affecting real markets $$• Carbon accounting - Emission Trading Schemes $$• Basis for both is not robust
– Inconsistent Goal and Scope– Inconsistent methodology between industry sectors– Inconsistent methodology up and down the supply chain
• The ACCC scrutiny of misleading or unsubstantiated “Green” claims
• Buildings - special challenges:– They draw products from every sector– They last lifetimes – but the parts may not– Operational impact consequences over the building life, energy
use, water use, cleaning, maintenance– Many tradeoffs - frequent unforeseen consequences and perverse
outcomes
![Page 8: Toolkit for Life Cycle Management in the Australian building and construction sectors](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061207/5478ceaeb4795977098b45a2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What Needed
1. Technically rigorous, industry agreed CONSISTENT “Level Playing Field” methodology for compiling LCI data for materials, products and services
2. Up-to-date, country relevant, industry LCI data compiled to the methodology
3. Industry agreed protocols for the use of the data in LCA’s, Ecolabels, EPD’s and design and rating tools (Regulations)
4. Agreed relevant methodology for impact assessment for Australia/NZ and for which the normalisation data exists
5. Regionally (and climatically) relevant weighting factors - from broad stakeholder engagement to interpret LCA’s
6. Consistent data on the life of buildings, assemblies and components for their cleaning and maintenance requirements
7. ALL transparent – available to public, industry, LCA practitioners, to design tool, EPD and ecolabelling bodies - web based

Vision
•Engage industry and broaden membership
•Chapters across Australia
•Make LCA relevant/crucial to industry and government:
•CO2-e accounting,
•ecolabels,
•design tools,
•regulation
•Seek funding WITH industry as partners
•Build AusLCI
•Charge more but deliver MUCH more

The Buildings & Environment: Full Life Cycle Assessment project, is a joint initiative by the Australian Life Cycle Assessment Society (ALCAS), Building Products Innovation Council (BPIC) and BRANZ Pty Ltd. This project was jointly funded by BPIC and the Australian Government under the Industry Cooperative Innovation Program
The BPIC/ICIP Project
![Page 16: Toolkit for Life Cycle Management in the Australian building and construction sectors](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061207/5478ceaeb4795977098b45a2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The BPIC/ICIP Project
• The Building product sector’s contribution to AusLCI• Jointly funded by the Industry (BPIC) and Government
(AusIndustry)• $1.6M over 3 years• 10 major Trade Associations – over 95% of the mass of
all buildings– Cement Concrete and Aggregates– Brick– Concrete Masonry– Roof Tiles– Timber– Gypsum Board– Steel (Structural Sections and Reinforcing)– Windows– Insulation

Strategic for Australia
The BPIC/ICIP Project
![Page 19: Toolkit for Life Cycle Management in the Australian building and construction sectors](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061207/5478ceaeb4795977098b45a2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
BPIC/ICIP Progress – 2 years in
• All documents over 95% complete subject to final sign-offs
• Data being compiled by Associations – majority expect to complete by August for November project launch
A model for other sectors
![Page 20: Toolkit for Life Cycle Management in the Australian building and construction sectors](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061207/5478ceaeb4795977098b45a2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
BPIC LCI Methodology
• Substantially similar to AusLCI methodology
• Some departures / enhancements:– Recycling allocation is specified in the BPIC
Guidelines– Treatment of Imported products is more
demanding– Scope is consensus agreed between all
sectors
![Page 21: Toolkit for Life Cycle Management in the Australian building and construction sectors](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061207/5478ceaeb4795977098b45a2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Impact Assessment
• From review of international best practice to address key questions:
• Which methods are well accepted and robust?
• Of these, which are appropriate and relevant to Australia?
• Of these, for which does Au Normalisation data exist?
![Page 22: Toolkit for Life Cycle Management in the Australian building and construction sectors](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061207/5478ceaeb4795977098b45a2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

And the gaps provide a research agenda for the future!

Cleaning, Maintenance, Replacement Life Database
• Compiled from all available sources in Australia and Internationally
• Aiming for REAL life data, NOT Guaranteed life, NOT durability life

Respectful Challenge to LCANZ
• Get down and dirty with industry
•Align methodology with AusLCI – it’s one market really
• Make LCA practical and relevant – use weighting / ecopoints?
• Connect to market – ecolabels, EPD’s, Design Tools
• Put LCA on the Board agenda for NZ companies
•Collaborate with ALCAS
