Preface
This report is a part of the Nordic Sustainable Construction programme initiated by the Nordic Ministers of Construction and Housing and funded by Nordic Innovation. The programme contributes to the Nordic Vision 2030 by supporting the Nordics in becoming the leading region in sustainable and competitive construction and housing with minimised environmental and climate impacts.
The programme supports the green transition of the Nordic construction sector by creating and sharing new knowledge, initiating debates in the sector, creating networks, workshops and best practice cases, and facilitating the Nordic harmonisation of regulation for buildings’ climate impact.
The programme runs from 2021-2024 and consists of the following focus areas:
Work package 1 – Nordic Harmonisation of Life Cycle Assessment
Work package 2 – Circular Business Models and Procurement
Work package 3 – Sustainable Construction Materials and Architecture
Work package 4 – Emission-free Construction Sites
Work package 5 – Programme Secretariat and Capacity-Building Activities for Increased Reuse of Construction Materials
This report is a final deliverable for Work package 1, task 2, focusing on data and data management. Work Package 1 is led by the Finnish Ministry of Environment.
The work has been carried out by the IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, Finnish environment Institute (SYKE), Natural resource institute Finland (LUKE), and with the help of a large group of other experts in all Nordic countries and Estonia.
