22 Policy Options IPCC Summary: Based on Figure 10.15

23 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

24 Extending existing policies Current regulationPossible additionAdditional requirements EcoDesign Directive 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). 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 of Buildings Directive Extend current requirements to include 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 Extend standards to include whole- lifetime emissions (Correia et al 2014). Standardisation for the calculation of embodied emissions for vehicle elements and processes.

25 Extending existing policies Climate policy Operational emissions Embodied emissions Embodied emissions originating in EU ETS sectors Emissions outside scope of EU climate mitigation policy EU Non-EU Annex I Non-Annex I EU ETS 1.9 billion tonnes ----- Vehicle emissions standards 12% of the EU's emissions of CO 2 173.2456.42116.23110.91234.98 Ecodesign Directive -99.5235.5192.5259.24168.31 The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 36% (commercial and residential only = 15%) 503.3683.03174.81357.96403.24

28 Further research Economics of material efficiency – Implications for jobs, GDP, trade, investment, deficits Development of a macro-economic model Establishing industry responses to changing business models Policy responses to material efficiency Responses to changing in the construction sector Case study analysis of different industry responses from construction, car manufacturing and household durables Agent based modelling of key actors from EU and national policy making organisations Development of a bottom up and top down model of building types
