National Reports An Example Roel Lanting (TNO)

What was the question? National indicators and frameworks Indicators with national acceptance Other indicators (e.g. local) Ongoing national research and results

Problem What is an indicator (set)? When is it construction related? Should we make distinction between indicators according to their use?

What is an indicator Simplified way of expressing a phenomenon Understandable for non-experts (means of communication) Measurable (objective) Repeatable

Construction related indicators Built environment Decision making in building processes

Use Context Design (optimisation, solution oriented) Assessment (evaluation, improvement) Monitoring (changes, bench marking) Process quality (interaction between stakeholders, management performance) Common language

Levels National (wide scope, less construction related, mostly monitoring, bench marking) Urban (built environment, people, economic stability, mostly design and assessment) Building (environment, LCA based tools) Materials (environment, LCA based tools)

Indicator sets used in NL

Dutch Approach Environment: indicators based on LCA ball park figures Social: indicators based on number of people affected, distances, (surface) area, quality classifications Economic: indicator based on local employment, flexibility/capacity to change
