Abstract
The Minimum Environmental Criteria are environmental and ecological requirements, defined by the Italian Ministry of the Environment, aimed at guiding the choices of the Public Administration towards sustainable products, services and works. These criteria are defined within the scope of what is established by the Action Plan for the environmental sustainability (PAN GPP) of public administration consumption. The principle of “doing no significant harm” to the environment (DNSH principle, i.e. “Do No Significant Harm”) was created to combine economic growth and ecosystem protection. Regulation (EU) 241/2021, establishing the Recovery and Resilience Device, provides that only measures that comply with the DNSH principle, introduced by Regulation (EU) 2020/852, the so-called “Taxonomy Regulation”, may be financed within the individual National Plans. The study aimed to correlate the environmental parameters on which the construction phase im-pacts, i.e. corresponding to: CAM -Technical Design Specifications Relating to the Construction Site (DM 256/2022; art. 2.6); DNSH - Sheet 5 - Building and general construction works not connected with the construction/renovation of buildings (EU Regulation 2020/852). With regard to the scenarios of simultaneous satisfaction of CAM and DNSH, a possible implementation of the improvable criteria has been developed, for the purpose of the development, by the economic operator, of a Most Economically Advantageous Offer.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
