Deliverables
The activities in this task group have resulted
in the following deliverables:
- Organiser of ECOserve
Workshop on 24 March 2003 at Dura Vermeer BV, the Netherlands
- Indicators for Assessing Improvements
in the Construction Industry, ECOserve Task 2 Report, November
2004, 13 pp (pdf)
- Environmental Baseline and Indicators,
ECOserve Task 2 Report, November 2004, 94 pp (pdf)
- Summary of Environmental Baseline and
Best Available Technology, ECOserve Task 2 Report November
2004, 43 pp (pdf)
- Calculation
tool for determining the environmental impact of various
pavement technologies. More information regarding this Excel spreadsheet
tool is found under "Pavements"
and a description is also found in the above-mentioned reports
- Calculation tool for the CO2
net balance of concrete production. This Excel spreadsheet includes
CO2 emissions from manufacturing of raw materials to
casting of structures. Furthermore, the demolition phase is included
and results from a Nordic R&D project are integrated in order
to include the CO2 uptake during carbonation. Examples
of such calculations are found in the powerpoint presentation
"CO2 balance calculations on concrete production
including full life cycle" (ppt)
- Representing the network in the European
Construction Technology Platform (ECTP) in order to put
the ideas and the wishes of the ECOserve members on the agenda
for the European Commission's 7th Framework Programme
- Presenting the ECOserve network at various
conferences and events around Europe. Most recently the network
has been presented in key-note speeches on "Global Construction,
Ultimate concrete opportunities", Univ. of Dundee, July 2005 and
at Nordic Concrete Day, Stockholm, November 2005
- Participating in a task group of the International
Federation for Structural Concrete (fib) on "Guidelines for environmental
design" with members from around the world
