Webinar: Harmonised CO2-eq Limit Values for Buildings and Monitoring Decarbonisation of the Building Stock

Recording and Presentation from Webinar “Harmonised CO2-eq Limit Values for Buildings and Monitoring Decarbonisation of the Building Stock”

30-01-2024
WP1 Life Cycle Assessments Webinars

This recording of our webinar explores harmonisation of CO2-eq limit values for buildings and monitoring building stock decarbonisation. We present findings related to LCA, CO2-eq limit values and building stock modelling. We present a detailed analysis of building life-cycle assessment approaches in Nordic countries, highlighting similarities, differences and the critical aspects of creating a harmonised approach for defining CO2-eq limit values for buildings.

Watch the recording to explore the journey in establishing a more harmonised approach for CO2-eq limit values and monitoring decarbonisation using existing or planned statistical data. The webinar was hosted by our programme partner, Ministry of Environment of Finland and SWECO Denmark, who are responsible for the project: Limit Values and Decarbonisation of Building Stock
