DEC50: Building decarbonisation tools

The initiatives launched downstream of the Paris Climate Agreement, as well as the work on the revision of the EPBD Directive, have as their primary objective the development of a roadmap for the energy transition and decarbonisation of the construction sector by 2050. The research "Tools for Decarbonization" was developed in this context. Green Building Council Italia has funded it and is part of the European project #BuildingLife. The study plans to define a set of indicators to account for CO 2 emissions in different stages of the building's lifecycle, and to assess the Whole Life Carbon of the building itself, i.e., its overall carbon footprint.
