SUSCON is expected to be the catalyst for Greek and Cypriot construction industries, public authorities and other stakeholders to get familiar with environmental aspects of construction, evaluate the environmental performance of specific works, promote more environmentally friendly products and services and introduce environmental benchmarking in the construction sector. For this reason, a strong partnership among universities, construction industries, technical consultants and associations has been established. More specifically, the National Technical University of Athens and the University of Cyprus can definitely contribute to the conduction of LCA methodology and development of ecodesign criteria in a quite complicated sector, the two leading construction industries from Greece and Cyprus (EDRASIS-PSALLIDAS and CYBARCO) can provide the practical expertise in the construction, EPTA as technical consultant can provide the experience from drafting tender documents for construction works on behalf of public authorities and finally ETEK representing all the engineers in Cyprus can have a significant role to play towards sustainable construction
