Tomorrow´s eco-label for buildings

Important results from the project

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** We have developed a new concept for an environmental labeling system for single-family house manufacturing with a scientific foundation and tested a digital market-adapted system as a platform. The system is adapted for conceptualization and prefabricated modular construction. The developed criteria are easy to handle and steer towards energy-efficient construction with regard to climate impact, biological diversity, low load from chemicals and which promote reuse opportunities.

Expected long term effects

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project has resulted in a criteria package that includes eligibility requirements for the company and house as product. The criteria have been anchored in a reference group and tested in a digital platform. In a market application, the criteria will lead to a concrete environmental benefit with a low environmental impact. In addition, the system is relatively simple and entails lower costs compared to other environmental labeling systems for buildings. The concept now needs to be taken further and implemented via interested actors.

Approach and implementation

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** In the project, a broad reference group has for two years given views on eligibility requirements and discussed various challenges. The design of the criteria itself has been developed by IVL, the Nature Conservation Association with support from FEBY. In the implementation, a digital platform has also been adapted and tested against criteria. Based on the criteria, other actors have also provided valuable information on how repair, damage control and sustainability issues in other areas can benefit from the requirements.
