Policy Options
IPCC Summary: Based
on Figure 10.15
Policy Options
Economy wide approach
•
•
Materials tax
Energy demand target
and tax / market
Sector response
•
•
Construction (NIPs,
Allowable Solutions)
Vehicles (Weight
regulations, VAT
exemptions)
Consumer solutions
•
•
Mandatory warranties
Goods to services
Extending existing policies
Current regulation
EcoDesign Directive
Possible addition
Within current scope to set
requirements to address some aspects
of embodied emissions, including
minimum guaranteed product lifetimes
and promoting modularity, upgrading
and repair (European Union 2009).
Additional requirements
More appropriate methods to be used
for preparatory studies in the
EcoDesign Directive, which used more
recent data, accounted for technology
development and took into account
product lifetimes.
Energy Performance Extend current requirements to include
of Buildings Directive embodied energy in the integrated
energy performance of buildings (Szalay
2007).
Standardisation of the calculation of
embodied energy for building elements
and processes.
Vehicle Emissions
Performance
Standard
Standardisation for the calculation of
embodied emissions for vehicle
elements and processes.
Extend standards to include wholelifetime emissions (Correia et al 2014).
