Preface

This project is part of the Nordic Sustainable Construction program initiated by the Nordic ministers for construction and housing and funded by Nordic Innovation. The program contributes to the Nordic Council of Ministers' Vision 2030 by supporting the Nordic region in becoming a leader in sustainable and competitive construction and housing with minimal impact on the environment and climate.

The program supports the green transition of the Nordic construction sector by creating and sharing new knowledge, initiating debates within the sector, establishing networks, workshops, and best practice cases, and helping to harmonize Nordic regulations on the climate impact of buildings.
