General pointsFor the HQE Performance 2012 experiment:The environmental impact assessment will be performed by calculating thefollowing indicators:- Consumption of energy resources Total primary energy (kWhep) Non-renewable primary energy (kWhep) Renewable primary energy (kWhep) Primary energy process (kWhep)- Depletion of non energy (kg of Sb)- Water consumption (m 3 )- Solid waste disposed Hazardous waste (t) Radioactive waste (t) Non-hazardous waste (t) Inert waste (t)- Climate change (kg CO 2 equivalent)- Atmospheric acidification (kg of SO 2)- Pollution of air (m 3)- Water pollution (m 3)- Photochemical ozone formation (kg of C 2 H4 )- Eutrophication (kg Phosphate equivalent)To be noted:-Some indicators differ from the standard XP P01-020-3 and NF P01-010.Therefore,the calculation of the contribution "products" will not always complete. For details,refer to Appendix 2 of this document.For the HQE Performance 2012 experiment:-The calculation will be performed, at least, for two building lifedurations: 50 years and 100 years.Calculation of the number of occupiers:For several contributors (Energy consumption related to the activity, consumption and transport ofusers and water releases), consumption is directly related to the number of building occupiers.11

For the HQE Performance 2012 experiment:-For residential buildings, when the program does not explicitly mentionthe number of occupiers of the building, it shall be calculated following themethod used in the French thermal regulation (§ 11.6.3.2.2. Th-ECB 2012).See Appendix 3 of this document.12

Included in BMandatoryNo match. Included in BIn this document, numbers between brackets refer to the standard EN 15978. See diagram inAppendix 1.For the HQE Performance 2012 experiment:- All contributors are considered mandatory- The partial or non consideration of a contributor in the calculations mustbe clearly identified and justified.To be noted: For the sake of consistency, a contributor "Consumption of materialsrelated to the activity" should have been considered. This contributor would haveincluded within the study the incoming associated to the outcoming waste itselfincluded. Considering the maturity of the environmental data and methods, thatcontributor is neglected.Regarding the aim of getting environmental assessments consistent one with another, it is necessaryto define the assumptions for each contributor. A set of hypothesis is presented in the text below.When applied, any difference between the assumptions actually made and those proposed in thisdocument must be identified, detailed and justified in the literature accompanying the calculationresults.13

Calculation of the contributor – work site [A5]Assessment boundaries:The environmental balance of the building shall incorporate its construction and its deconstruction /demolition phase.For the HQE Performance 2012 experiment:Only the construction phase shall be included within the assessmentboundaries of this contributor.For simplification purposes, the scrap yard shall only be counted throughproducts end of life via the FDES.For the work site, elements of the implementation of products and equipment and on site wastemanagement are already included in the EPD. This contributor is made to quantify the elements ofconstruction common to several systems and not included in the FDES or PEP, for example:- Water consumption and energy construction of cantonments- Amortization of heavy equipment (fixed cranes, .).- Water consumption other than cantonments’- Energy consumption other than cantonments'- Consumption of construction equipment for earthmoving, drilling wells, disposal of land anddemolition (electricity, fuel and / or consumables)- Quantity of cut and fill leaving or entering the field.For the HQE Performance 2012 experiment:Work staff members’ trips are out of the assessment boundaries.19

Quantitative information of the project:For this phase, shall be collected or estimated: quantities of water, electricity, fuel and materialsconsumed.For the HQE Performance 2012 experiment, the following ratios can be used:For the transport of waste:- Distances from the yard to the storage center: 30 km for inert waste 30 km for non-hazardous waste 100 km for hazardous waste- 1 truck 25 tons of soil- Density of the earth 1.45 tons/m3For excavation:- 1 L of fuel consumed per m3 of earth movedTo be noted:- The list of considered items shall be explained.- If the site requires remediation before construction, impacts related to the remediation aretaken into account but must be clearly distinguished in the presentation of the results.Calculation of environmental impacts:The calculation of environmental impacts related to construction is obtained by multiplying:- The amount of water consumed by the environmental profile of its provision (for drinkingwater, etc.)- The values of energy consumption by appropriate environmental profiles- Details of gears used by the environmental profiles of the availability of such equipment, inproportion to their presence on site- Etc.The match of these quantities with environmental data will be documented.20

Consumption of drinking water thus saved cannot exceed regulated consumptionof stormwater10 and greywater.Calculation of environmental impacts:Environmental impacts of consumption:10Order of 21 August 2008 on the recovery of rainwater and its use inside and outside buildings23

The environmental impact associated with the provision of water consumed is calculated bymultiplying the volume of water consumed ("Source") by the environmental profiles of theavailability of water for each of the "sources".Environmental impacts of releases:- If the building is connected to a collective sewage system or (combined sewer overflow orseparative), the environmental impact is obtained by multiplying the volume of waterdischarged into the network by the environmental profiles of the network.- If the building has a specific sewage system, environmental impact is considered
