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 impact.
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 Nordic harmonisation of regulation for buildings’ climate impact.
The programme runs from 2021-2024 and consists of the following focus areas:
  • WP1 – Nordic Harmonisation of Life Cycle Assessment
  • WP2 – Circular Business Models and Procurement
  • WP3 – Sustainable Construction Materials and Architecture
  • WP4 – Emission-free Construction Sites
  • WP5 – Programme Secretariat and Capacity-building Activities for Increased Reuse of Construction Materials
An important part of the programme is to facilitate the digitalisation of building LCA and climate declarations within the Nordic countries. In this context, this “BIM4LCA” project report has been developed. The report is one of the deliverables of task 3 in Work Package 1, led by the Finnish Ministry of Environment.
The BIM4LCA work has been carried out by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Granlund, Gravicon and Insinööritoimisto Kallinen, and the Nordic partners: Sberesearch, Rangi Maja OÜ, Bengt Dahlgren Stockholm AB, Gravicon DK and Asplan Viak AS.
