GLOSSARY
Background Reports
PREFACE
This Annex 31 glossary has been designed to improve communications amongst international
groups addressing the environmental performance of buildings.
The glossary emerged as a result of ongoing communications difficulties experienced within
the IEA Annex 31. Academics and researchers in 14 countries needed to standardise the
many specialised terms used for describing building performance. Often the existing literature
used different English terms interchangeably.Varying translations compounded this problem.
The solution was to carefully review the use of all terminology, with special reference to terms
used in international standards, and then to translate the English terms for other languages
commonly used within the Annex.
It is hoped that the glossary produced by the Annex will assist future efforts to share
information on the environmental performance of buildings.

GENERAL TERMS USED FOR ASSESSMENT METHODS
(ENGLISH/FRENCH/GERMAN)
Data / Données / Daten
The smallest unit of information in the form of numbers, letters and similar signs that say
something about concrete objects, situations, or events. Data commonly used in most building
assessments are generated or created from ‘original data', by means of methods and models
[ETH 96].
Data base / Base de données, banque de données / Datenbasis, Datenbank
A database is a collection of pieces of data structured according to a coherent set of rules.
These data owe (hopefully) a certain coherence and homogeneity regarding their origin,
accuracy and quality. In a computerised form, a database also includes procedures for handling
(retrieving, updating, or changing) the data it contains [AHO 97].
Instruments, tools / Outils / Instrument,Werkzeug
Instruments and tools are practice-oriented working tools that facilitate a larger process, and
that are built upon scientific methods and principles. Instruments and tools help to translate
insights gained from scientific methods to standard decision-making in the day-to-day course
of business [ETH 96]. Instruments and tools thus systemize methods in a form suitable for
practical problem solving [AHO 97].
Metadata / Metadata / Metadata
Metadata includes all types of descriptive data used to operationalise a tool or method, including
the subsystem structures, boundaries, quality, representativity, energy/transport/waste models,
and other descriptors that can be used to support the choice of relevant data sets [SPOLD 96].
Method / Méthode / Methode
A procedure for the creation of scientific insight and practical results through the application
of a set of rules, based upon a rationale and scientifically-oriented procedure [ETH 96].
Methodology / Méthodologie / Methodologie
A methodology is a theoretical framework suitable for analyzing events. A methodology
includes definitions of basic concepts, description of ground models used to simplify reality,
and a transparent application of scientific principles.The LCA approach is a methodology.

GLOSSARY
Model / Modèle / Model
Models designate the simplified representations of the characteristics determining the
behaviour (static or dynamic) of an object or a system and its interaction with its surroundings.
Models can be used to represent the functions fulfilled by the object or the system, and/or to
investigate, predict or explain the dynamic development of a situation [ETH 96 + AHO 97].
System / Système / System
A system is a collection of connected unit objects (or processes) that perform one or more
defined functions [AHO 97].
Typology / Typologie / Typologie
A study of characteristic features in a data set, in order to determine types or systems.

TERMS SPECIFIC TO ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
(ENGLISH/FRENCH/GERMAN)
Biosphere / Biosphère / Biosphere
The region of the earth's crust and atmosphere occupied by living organisms. "Modelling the
biosphere" thus involves predicting all of the loadings, effect potential and impacts external to
the system.
Category / Catégorie / Kategorie [ISO 97b]
A group or class of inventory inputs and outputs that shares common environmental attributes
such as a mutual mechanism of action that can lead to a possible endpoint. A "flow category" is
used to distinguish between emissions, products, wastes and raw materials.An "impact category"
is used to group flows according to their potential impacts.
• Category indicator
The full expression for this term is "life cycle impact category indicator".This refers to a
modelled estimate that represents an overall or aggregate value of the emission loadings
or resource use in the given category. [ISO 42.2]
• Category endpoint
A selected representation of the natural environment, human health or resource depletion
used to designate an impact category. [ISO 42.2 & 42.3]. It is the explicit concern that
constitutes the basis to define a category - either through a known mechanistic network
or through a more qualitative, subjective description. [ISO 97b]. A category endpoint should
be selected to align with a relevant environmental endpoint or issue of concern. It does
not demonstrate that the loading and resource actually results in an effect. [ISO 97b].
• Environmental (category) endpoint
The explicit, actual, measurable or observable effect in the environment that identifies the
assessment endpoint as relevant and meaningful, and that allows evaluation of the significance
of the results of life cycle impact assessment. [ISO 97b].
Comparative assertion / Affirmation comparative / Vergleichende Aussage
An environmental claim regarding the superiority or equivalence of one product versus
a competing product which performs the same function [ISO 40].
Environment / Environnement / Umwelt
The surroundings in which an organisation operates, including, air, water, land, natural resources,
flora, fauna, humans and their interrelation. [ISO 97b, ISO 50]. Surroundings in this context extend
from within an organization, to the global system (ISO 14001 definition). [ISO 97b, ISO 50].
IEA ANNEX 31 ENERGY-RELATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF BUILDINGS
Page 3
Background Reports
GLOSSARY
Environmental aspect / Aspect environnemental / Umweltaspekt
The element of an organisation's activities, products or services that can interact with the
environment. [ISO 40, ISO 97b]. A significant environmental aspect is an environmental aspect
that has - or can have - a significant environmental impact. (ISO 14001 definition) In LCA, an
environmental aspect is the elementary flow of resources, emissions and wastes across the
boundaries into and out of the system.The potential "interaction" should be clearly
distinguished from impact where an observable change takes place. [ISO 97b]
Environmental indicator / Indicateur environnemental / Umweltindikator
[ISO 97b]
A specific expression that provides information about an organisation's environmental
performance, efforts to influence that performance or the conditions of the environment.
Environmental performance indicators (EPI's) are used in relation to the organisation's
management and operations. Environmental condition indicators (ECI's) are used to describe
the local regional/national or global conditions of the environment in relation to the organisation.
Environmental interventions / Interventions environnementales /
Eingriffe in die Umwelt
The physical interaction between a system studied and the environment, defined in terms
of the extraction of natural resources, or substances emissions to the environment media
(air, soil, superficial and ground water), or space occupied by waste, building, and other
disturbances. [CML 95]
Environmental issue / Question environnementale / Umweltfrage
The inputs and outputs (from LCA) and - if additionally conducted - environmental indicators
(from LCIA), which are defined in general terms as being important in the goal and scope
definition. [ISO 43]
Environmental loads, loadings, burdens / Charges environnementales,
facteurs d'impact / Umweltbelastungen
The total releases of pollutants of different classes to the environment [SPOLD 93, CAN 94].
An environmental load or impact factor is a chemical substance or a physical non-material flux
(e.g. heat, acoustic pressure) emitted by a source into one of the environmental media (air,
water, ground). Example: emission of CO2 by a boiler [NIBEL 97]. (In French, the expression
"facteur d'impact" should not be confused with "classification factor" [CML 95] or
"characterisation factor" [NORDIC 95].)
Environmental effect / Effet environnemental / Umwelteffekt
(Umwelwirkung)
The consequence of an environmental intervention in the environmental system. [CML 95]
Or measurable or observable change in the environment, human health or natural resource,
which may be beneficial or adverse. [ISO 97b] This includes any consequence of the activities,
Page 4
IEA ANNEX 31 ENERGY-RELATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF BUILDINGS
GLOSSARY
Background Reports
products or services of the organism [i.e. firm or institution] on the environment, whether
adverse or beneficial. [AFNOR 93] Effects are physical phenomena, which may induce
secondary and further order effects, in a cause-to-effect relationship. [ATEQUE 02]
(Note that in some German texts, the use of the words ‘effect’ and ‘impact’ is inverted.)
Environmental problem / Problème environnemental / Umweltproblem
Environmental effects or impacts are generally summarised into general categories, referred to
as environmental problems or themes, or impact categories. For instance, [UNEP 96] defines
the main environment problems used in LCA as: abiotic depletion, energy depletion, human
toxicity, ecotoxicity (aquatic and terrestrial), acidification, nutrification, ozone depletion, global
warming and photochemical oxidant formation.
Environmental theme / Thème environnemental / Umweltthema
A type of environmental problem scored during an impact assessment.The themes as stated by
CML are summarised as depletion, disturbance and pollution. Depletion concerns the theme
abiotic depletion, biotic depletion and energy depletion; disturbance, e.g. to ecosystems, has to
be described qualitatively; pollution concerns the theme human toxicity, aquatic and terrestrial
ecotoxicity, acidification, nutrification, ozone depletion, global warming, photochemical oxidant
formation and smell. Other items sometimes quantified are waste and water use [CML 95].
Environmental problems or themes and impact categories may be considered as synonymous.
Functional unit / Unité fonctionnelle / Funktionseinheit
Quantified performance of a product system for use as a reference unit in a LCA study.
[ISO 40] It is a measure of the performance of the functional outputs of the product system.
It is a reference to which the inputs and outputs are related. [ISO 97b]
Goal and scope definition / Définition des objectifs et du domai-ne
d'application / Zieldefinition (Zielfindung und Abgrenzung)
The goal of an LCA study shall unambiguuously state the intended application, the reasons for
carrying out the study and the intended audience, i.e. to whom the results of the study are
intended to be communicated [ISO 40]. Goal definition is sometimes referred to as initiation
(SPOLD, CAN).
The scope of an LCA study shall consider and clearly describe [ISO 40]:
• the functions of the product system, or, in the case of comparative studies,
the systems;
• the functional unit;
• the product system to be studied;
• the product system boundaries;
• allocation procedures;
• types of impact and methodology of impact assessment, and subsequent interpolation
to be used;
• data requirements;

assumptions;
limitations;
inital data quality requirements;
type of critical review, if any; and
type and format of the report required for the study.
The scope should be sufficiently well defined to ensure that the breadth, the depth and the
detail of the study are compatible and sufficient to address the stated goal. Because LCA is an
iterative technique, the scope of the study may need to be modified while the study is being
conducted, as additional information is collected.
Impact / Impact / Wirkung
A change to the environment and the associated consequences for both humans and other
ecosystem components caused directly by the activities of product or service development and
production. Impacts include secondary and tertiary consequences with direct upstream links to
primary changes to environmental systems [CAN 94]. From the point of view of the receptor
in the environment, the "impact" concept is the result of an interpretation phase, where the
opinion of experts regarding outdoor environment, human health and comfort is located on a
value scale.This point of view depends on non-scientific criteria and may also evolve according
to the scientific knowledge available [ATEQUE 02].
• Potential impact
An impact which could be either hypothetical or ‘not now, but later’. LCIA focuses on
"non-actual" impacts (not real, observed or measured). [ISO 97b]
• Indirect impact
A natural environmental, human health or natural resource impact whereby the original
loadings or resource uses may act indirectly through other types of impacts or components
of the natural environment. [ISO 97b]
• Impact assessment
Phase of LCA aimed at structuring, organising, translating and analysing the inventory input
and output data to arrive at a better understanding of the magnitude and significance
of the environmental loadings and resource uses of a product system. [ISO 97b]
Impact category / Catégorie d'impact / Wirkungskategorie
Environmental impacts are generally summarised into impact categories (see also
environmental themes or problems also defined above).Three major impact categories
are identified by [NORDIC 95] :
1. resource depletion : energy, material, water, land,
Page 6
IEA ANNEX 31 ENERGY-RELATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF BUILDINGS
GLOSSARY
Background Reports
2. human health impacts : toxicological and non-toxicological, excluding work
environment, human health impacts in work environment,
3. ecological impacts : global warming, depletion of stratospheric ozone, acidification,
eutrophication, photo-oxidant formation, ecotoxicological impacts, habitat alterations
and impacts on biological diversity.
Environmental problems or themes and impact categories may be considered as synonymous.
Intervention : See Environmental Intervention
Life cycle / Cycle de vie / Lebensweg, Lebenszyklus
Consecutive and interlinked stages of a product system, from raw material acquisition or
generation of natural resources to the final disposal [ISO 40].
Life cycle assessment (LCA) / Analyse du cycle de vie (ACV) /
Produkt-Ökobilanz (LCA), Lebenszyklus bilanz
The overall process of assessing the life cycle impacts associated with a system, function,
product or service. Sometimes considered to include the Initiation, Inventory, Impact Analysis
and Improvement stages [SPOLD 93]. A concept and a method to evaluate the environmental
effects of a product holistically, by analysing its entire life cycle.This includes identifying and
quantifying energy and materials used and wastes released to the environment, assessing their
environmental impact, and evaluating opportunities for improvement [CAN 94].
Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) / Evaluation de l'impact du cycle
de vie / Wirkungsabschätzung (Wirkungsbilanz)
The phase of LCA aimed at understanding and evaluating the magnitude and significance of the
potential environmental impacts of a product system [ISO 40, ISO 97b].The main difference
between LCA and LCIA is the focus on "potential".
Life cycle inventory analysis / Inventaire du cycle de vie, écobilan / Sachbilanz
The phase of LCA involving the compilation and quantification of inputs and outputs, for a
given product system throughout its life cycle [ISO 40]. Note, to avoid confusion, avoid using
acronyms of this term.
Life cycle interpretation / Interprétation du cycle de vie / Auswertung
The phase of LCA in which the findings of either the inventory analysis or the impact
assessment, or both, are combined consistent with the defined goal and scope in order
to reach conclusions and recommendations [ISO 40, ISO 98].
IEA ANNEX 31 ENERGY-RELATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF BUILDINGS
Page 7
Background Reports
GLOSSARY
Normalisation / Normation /
Normalisation involves factoring results by a common unit (persons, years, area, and so on)
in order to allow for a fair comparison of the relative significance of impacts. Normalisation
is sometimes required in preparation for additional procedures such as weighting or
interpretation. [ISO 42]
Product system / Système de produit / Produktsystem
Collection of materially and energetically connected unit processes which performs one or
more defined functions [ISO 40].
Raw material / Matière Première / Rohstoff, Rohmaterial
Primary or secondary material that is used to produce a product [ISO 40].
Source / Source / Quelle
Sources are physical elements of the system under study (boiler, window, light bulb), which,
by their characteristics, have an influence on the environment during the product life cycle.
Technical system / Système technique / Technische System
A collection of product systems which perform one or more defined functions, and are suitable
for modeling and assessment.Technical systems exist at all scales, from appliances to buildings
and whole cities.
Technosphere / Technosphère / Technosphere
The subset of the biosphere influenced and changed by human planning and activity.
Unit process / Procédé unitaire / Einzelprozess
Smallest portion of a product system for which data are collected when performing a LCA
[ISO 40].
Valuation / Evaluation / Wertung : See weighting.
Weighting / Pondération / Gewichtung
Weighting is an optional procedure within life cycle impact assessment that involves ranking
or possibly aggregating the indicator results across impacts categories. For example, resource
depletion may be combined with pollution indices.Weighting is based on value choices.The
weights are not exclusively based on scientific knowledge, but always involve some element
of subjective judgment. [ISO 42] Note that the term "weighting" is preferable to "valuation"
because French terms do not differentiate between "evaluation" and "valuation".

and trade-specific contractors, artisans, etc.)
•
Control offices / bureaux de contrôle / Prüfingenieure
The control offices are in a broad sense the engineers and technicians commissioned to
control the quality and check the safety (conformity controls, project documentation
checking and on-site construction checking).
•
The pole of use / Le pôle d'utilisation / Gruppe der Nutzer
•
Service providers / prestataires de services / Dienstleister

use phase (e.g. the heating operating companies, the maintenance firms, the electricity, water
and gas providers, etc.).
•
Building managers / gestionnaires / Gebäudebetrieber
The building managers manage their own assets (e.g. the public sector housing) or the
assets of others (e.g. condominiums).
•
Users of residential buildings / usagers des bâtiments résidentiels /
Gebäudebewohner
The users of residential buildings are considered only as occupiers, either as owners
or as tenants.
•

TERMS SPECIFIC TO ENERGY
(ENGLISH/FRENCH/GERMAN)
Embodied energy / Contenu énergétique /
vergegenständlichte Energie (G), graue Energie (CH)
The sum of the energy used to manufacture a product from cradle to the input gate of the use
site and of its feedstock.
Feedstock energy / Energie d'alimentation / vergegend-ständlichter
Heizwert (bei nichtenergetischer Nutzung)
Feedstock energy quantifies the potential of raw material inputs, such as wood or plastic
materials, to deliver energy if they were used as fuel for heating.
Final energy use / Consommation d'énergie finale / Aufwand an Endenergie
Energy consumption measured at the final or end use level. For a building, this would be the
energy inflow measured at the gate of the building, excluding passive solar gains and heat
recovery from human beings.The end use energy is opposed to the primary energy use.
Precombustion energy / Energie de précombustion /energetische Vorstufen
The total energy used to produce, transport and store a fuel during its whole life cycle
upstream of the burner.
Primary energy use / Consommation d'énergie primaire / Aufwand an
Primärenergie
The energy consumption measured at the natural resource level. For electricity, the primary
energy used to produce 1 kWhel may be a mix of several primary energies :
• fossil fuels (crude oil, natural gas, uranium),
• geothermal,
• renewable fuels (biofuels, wood)
• and renewable forces (hydropower, solar, wind, tidal).
This mix is typically a characteristic shared within a grid at the regional or national scale, and
can vary significantly.The conversion from final use electricity to primary energy inputs requires
assumptions about the structure of the electricity production and about the conversion
efficiency of electrical power plants. For example, the IEA expresses primary energy use
in toe (tons of oil equivalent) units and uses a conversion factor of :
• 0.086 toe/TWhel for hydro, solar, wind and tidal energies,
• 0.258 toe/TWhel for nuclear energy
• 0.86 toe/TWhel for geothermy [IEA].
The French Ministry of Industry uses a mean conversion factor reflecting the French electricity
mix of 0.222 toe/TWhel [SESSI 92].
