LCA data in building and construction
KBOB list 2009/1
The life cycle assessment data in the building sector compiled in the KBOB list 2009/1:2022 are based on industry data (according to the ecoinvent methodology) and are the accepted database to calculate primary energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impacts of construction materials, building technology, energy and transport systems. The data are used for the analysis of construction projects according to SIA 2031 (2008) Energieausweis für Gebäude, SIA 2032 (2020) Graue Energie, SIA 2039 (2011) Mobilität in Abhängigkeit vom Gebäudestandort and SIA 2040 (2017) Effizienzpfad Energie as well as the assessment of regions according to the 2000 watt concept. The instruments of eco-bau are based on these data as well.
