• COST C25 related references (sustainability)
• Development of ZKG quality label for products
  and services in civil engineering and building,
  on-going since 1997, selected items
• development of criteria for sustainable building
  products (over 90 products, example energy
  efficient windows),
• development of criteria for sustainable building
  (apartment buildings)

• The National quality label in Building and
  Civil Engineering (ZKG) criteria are pondered
  according to their relevance to Slovenian
  situation
• measurable technical criteria (U values,
  air-permeability, water tightness, mechanic
  characteristics),
• non-measurable technical criteria (convenience of
  technical solution, functionality of the product)
  
• environmental criteria (window life cycle based
  on environmental preference method)
• efficiency and quality of production processes
  (environmental impact of the production process)
• satisfaction of buyers (poll)
• fulfilment of the companys business plan,
• global impact on the society and environment.
