A research team from CTU UCEEB has completed the deliverables of a public contract commissioned by the Ministry of the Environment
of the Czech Republic focused on creating a local generic database of building materials for assessing Global Warming Potential
(GWP).
The project provides tools that will enable better evaluation of the environmental impacts of construction products and structures
in the Czech context, while supporting the wider use of LCA methodology in the construction sector and the practical implementation
of the EPBD IV directive.
The main outputs include a localized generic LCA database of building materials, a catalogue of typical building structures
with their carbon footprint, and a simplified LCA calculator enabling quick preliminary assessment of buildings in terms of
carbon footprint.
The outputs are available in pilot operation via the DATALCA.cz portal and are intended to serve as practical support for
designers, investors, professionals, and public administration bodies, which will use them, for example, in subsidy programmes.
The project contributes to more transparent evaluation of the environmental impacts of buildings and supports the decarbonization
of the construction sector in the Czech Republic.
