Whole Life Carbon approach
The construction sector is facing a major sustainability challenge. This task goes further than just reducing CO2 in the use stage. The construction process and the use of materials also result in a CO2 impact. This will require a new perspective on how the construction industry is becoming more sustainable. We call this the Whole Life Carbon approach. This approach is part of the European #BuildingLife program.
The position paper explains what is understood by a Whole Life Carbon approach. This report is the first step in a process of sustainability according to this new principle. DGBC has drawn up this position paper based on input from the Ambassadors of the BuildingLife project and stakeholders from the entire construction column. input van de Ambassadeurs van het BuildingLife project en stakeholders uit de gehele bouwkolom.
