National building LCA data accelerator KU Leuven
INDICATE will support three pilot countries across Europe to generate building LCA/WLC data in a push towards Whole Life Carbon (WLC) benchmarks and regulation. The theory of change within this accelerator is based on the understanding that reducing buildings' lifecycle carbon footprint requires a joint effort between academia and WLC research communities; government and public authorities; as well as industry representing the entire value ...
Sustainability of different nutritional habits from LCA perspective KU Leuven

Dynamic LCA model of the housing stock in Flanders KU Leuven
In Europe, the building sector is responsible for about 50% of the use of natural resources, 40% of energy use, and 16% of water use. Buildings are furthermore responsible for 36% of the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the EU. Reducing the environmental impact of the building stock is therefore considered a priority to achieve the European climate and energy targets. Despite the recent advancements in material use and energy ...
