The article considers opportunities for using Environmental Performance Levels associated with Best Available Techniques (BAT-AEPL) as the supply chain criteria for the environmental and sustainability assessment of construction industry. Organisations in various countries have been using the Environmental and Sustainability Standard BES 6001 to foster greening of the construction sector for over 15 years. Key requirements of BES 6001 address major management systems of suppliers: quality management (QMS), environmental management (EMS), and occupational health and safety management (OHSMS) systems. Various researchers emphasise the importance of energy management systems (EnMS), too. Authors of this article aim to demonstrate how BAT-AEPL can be used to set auditable quantitative requirements for EMS and EnMS. These requirements cover BAT-associated resource efficiency levels, which is very important for such sectors as cement, brick and glass production. In jurisdictions where BAT concept is introduced by the national or regional legislation, these requirements cover also BAT-Associated Levels of Emissions of such pollutants as nitrogen and sulphur oxides, dust, as well as specific pollutants that might be emitted while using alternative fuel (Refuse-Derived Fuel, RDF), for example, in cement production. Finally, carbon intensity of construction materials manufacturing processed and opportunities for its reduction are discussed in the Reference Documents on Best Available Techniques (BREFs) and in some cases, sectoral benchmarking procedures are associated with the revision of BREFs. The article provides sectoral examples and recommendations for the practical use of BREFs and BAT-AEPL for setting criteria for the environmental and sustainability assessment of construction industry.
