Fire as a Factor in Life Cycle Assessment – How does the risk of fire affect the climate impact of buildings?
Since 2022, there is a requirement in Sweden that the climate impact generated from the construction phase of new buildings must be declared. The law is planned to be tightened to include more building components and more stages of the building’s life cycle, while also introducing limits for maximum climate impact for buildings. This project investigates whether the risk of fire can be a factor that needs to be considered in the calculations of the climate impact of buildings.
