Understanding the Building Life Cycle for a Sustainable Future🌱 From raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal, every stage in a building's life cycle impacts the environment. 📊 By assessing each phase of production, construction, use, and deconstruction we can identify opportunities to reduce emissions, optimize resources, and design for long-term sustainability. Why does this matter? 🔹Informed decision-making for greener buildings 🏗️ 🔹Meeting global regulatory standards 🌐 🔹Reducing costs and resource use efficiently 💡 Author: MAHALAKSHMI SIVARAMAN Continue reading - https://lnkd.in/eETyAb4a At Desapex , we specialize in NetZero Energy Consultancy, helping businesses achieve their sustainability goals through tailored solutions.

At #HemoCue, we are committed to conducting our business in an environmentally responsible manner, protecting both our people and our planet. Our continuous improvement mindset drives us to consistently seek ways to enhance our processes, reduce our environmental impact, and promote sustainability across all aspects of our operations.   One of our major ongoing projects this year is the construction of a new building at our headquarters in Ängelholm, Sweden. The building will house cooling machines that use a natural cooling refrigerant, supporting our aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The new machines will also help us become more energy efficient and are expected to save an estimated 400,000 kWh of electricity annually. In addition to that, heat will be recovered and used in our existing buildings, preventing it from going to waste.   “Every step we can take toward sustainability matters, so this is an exciting project to be part of as the impact is really big. We started planning for this about two years ago, and after the summer of this year, we began preparing the foundation. The project is running smoothly so far, with the building structure already in place. If all goes as planned, the cooling machines will be ready for use in March 2025”, says Ola Lind, PMP®, Engineering Project Manager, who’s been running the project together with other team members.   Stay tuned for more updates on the project! #AdvancingCare

🔦 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: 𝗢𝗘𝗞𝗢𝗕𝗔𝗨𝗗𝗔𝗧 The building and construction sector is responsible for 39% of global carbon emissions. (Source: World Green Building Council → https://lnkd.in/eeiXwQ3g) Of this percentage, 28% is due to operational emissions from energy consumption in buildings, while the remaining 11% stems from embodied carbon, which is linked to material production, transportation, and construction processes. While companies frequently focus on ways to reduce their operational emissions, embodied carbon emissions are largely overlooked. Addressing both types of emissions comprehensively requires a holistic approach that covers the entire lifecycle of buildings, including material selection, construction techniques, energy use and waste management during the building's lifetime.   To help organizations better manage and minimize the carbon impact of their building and construction-related activities, Climatiq has incorporated data from OEKOBAUDAT. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗢𝗘𝗞𝗢𝗕𝗔𝗨𝗗𝗔𝗧? OEKOBAUDAT is an extensive database for construction materials and equipment developed by the German Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building. From lead sheets to AC systems, from rapeseed oil fuel to incineration processes, OEKOBAUDAT integrates multiple datasets to assess the lifecycle and carbon footprint of building materials and components, covering both operational activities and embodied carbon. 𝗢𝗘𝗞𝗢𝗕𝗔𝗨𝗗𝗔𝗧 𝘅 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗾 We have integrated over 460 emission factors for embodied carbon from the OEKOBAUDAT database, covering a wide range of building and construction activities with a primary focus on Germany, as well as EU averages and data from other European countries. Climatiq users can now access detailed insights to accurately evaluate the environmental impact of construction materials and equipment, right from raw material extraction through to manufacturing. In turn, this facilitates informed decision-making for more sustainable construction practices.
