This was the topic of the workshop that was held in the frame of the EDA 2016 Annual Convention, on June, 9-11, 2016 in Glasgow, Scotland (UK).
The meeting was presented and moderated by members of TECNALIA, coordinators of HISER H2020and the EU Specific Contract on Pre-demolition Audit, who explained what is the currently situation of the pre-demolition audit in Europe.
The pre-demolition and/or renovation CDW assessment audits would identify and list the needs for pre-demolition and/or renovation assessment tools with regard to generated CDW streams, which should also report about the perception from relevant stakeholders concerning these needs.
They also shared how they work in draft guidelines about the same topic and ways to use them correctly in the future, always under the European Union’s leadership.
The guidelines for pre-demolition and renovation audits, based on the analysis performed in the framework of the previous tasks, would include: principles and rules for how and when to carry out pre-demolition and renovation audits for buildings and infrastructures, conditions for data sourcing and collection, format of audit reporting and further exploitation of audit outcome by project sponsors, contractors and authorities.
