In the context of the European F.R.E.S.H. project (Interreg IVC Programme), this paper presents the results of the survey on Eco-design planning tools, i.e. any tool which can be used to plan or develop an eco-design strategy using the life cycle thinking at local policy level, with regard to the construction sector. A questionnaire was distributed to the eight partner regions involved in the project and six good practices, referring to different aspect of the construction supply chain, emerged to be relevant. For every good practice at least three aspects to be transferred have been identified and discussed, with regard to both technical matters and policy level. Through this in-depth analysis we concluded that what can help local authorities in the definition of their innovation strategy is spreading the adoption of tools, both at regulatory and management level, that help in the assessment of all the aspects of sustainable construction supply chain.

Abstract

In the context of the European F.R.E.S.H. project (Interreg IVC Programme), this paper presents the results of the survey on Eco-design planning tools, i.e. any tool which can be used to plan or develop an eco-design strategy using the life cycle thinking at local policy level, with regard to the construction sector. A questionnaire was distributed to the eight partner regions involved in the project and six good practices, referring to different aspect of the construction supply chain, emerged to be relevant. For every good practice at least three aspects to be transferred have been identified and discussed, with regard to both technical matters and policy level. Through this in-depth analysis we concluded that what can help local authorities in the definition of their innovation strategy is spreading the adoption of tools, both at regulatory and management level, that help in the assessment of all the aspects of sustainable construction supply chain.
