Il campo delle costruzioni è responsabile del 40% delle emissioni globali di carbonio. Pertanto, è di fondamentale importanza adottare pratiche sostenibili per ridurre a zero le emissioni.
In funzione di questo obiettivo e a seguito della fase di consultazione chiusa lo scorso 10 settembre 2021, è stata pubblicata ufficialmente la Terza Edizione dello Standard ICMS: questa rappresenta una novità assoluta per la gestione dei costi in relazione all’utilizzo del carbonio in tutte le fasi del ciclo di vita di un progetto di costruzione.
Mentre la Prima edizione degli ICMS costituiva sostanzialmente una metodologia strutturata per la classificazione dei costi, la Seconda edizione ha allargato lo scopo degli standard per abbracciare all'interno della stessa metodologia tutti i costi dell'intero ciclo vita dei progetti eliminando discrepanze e incongruenze tra possibili diversi approcci.
La recentissima Terza edizione integra gli schemi precedenti con un metodo per la rendicontazione dei costi di costruzione in considerazione delle emissioni di carbonio.
Inoltre, in questa ultima edizione vengono aggiunte ulteriori tipologie di progetti di ingegneria civile:
- strutture offshore
- strutture near-shore
- porti
- canali navigabili
- preparazione e bonifica di terreni

The 2022 ICEC World Congress will be held from 12-15 June 2022 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The event is being organised by the Dutch Association of Cost Engineers (DACE).

Finally, here we are.
It started in July 2020 the AICE and RICS Italia collaboration for an ambitious and apparently simple project, namely the translation into Italian of the International Construction Measurement Standards to propose them to the national market. First it was establishment of a Technical Commission and subsequently a Scientific one, both Italian.
There are many challenges in this journey.
First, a linguistic and not a literal translation: it was immediately clear that in order to make the Standards speak Italian, not only lexical knowledges were required, but as well a study and analysis of the principles underlying them. The Anglo-Saxon languages, indeed, expose concepts in a different way from us, through a simplified linguistic structure, entrusting words to the transmission of a vision, often highlighted by a capital initial of the main words and composing them. Without this study, an effective translation and proposal would have not been possible.
AICE and RICS Italia, together with the main associative and academic institutions, introduce the ICMS - pdf International Construction Measurement Standards (4.48 MB) to the Italian construction sector.
The spread of ICMS in Italy will allow greater transparency in the measurement of the costs of individual projects, from their conception to their finished product with actual benefits in terms of financial and operational management. This is a fundamental job to make the Italian construction sector more competitive and transparent and to standardize it for the most advanced international markets.
The project will be formally launched in the Italian market during the AICE event titled: "RECOVERY PLAN: PROJECT SET UP AND MANAGEMENT - A reference proposal from those who implement the projects!" (https://www.livemediaset.it/giornata-aice-2021/) to be held on February 5th, 2021.
