The KBOB Table offers comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) data for building materials, technology, energy supply, transportation, and disposal processes in the Swiss construction sector. Representing average environmental impacts of materials sold on the Swiss market, it also includes manufacturer-specific data for selected materials. By analyzing energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and resource consumption, the tool supports planners, architects, and clients in making informed, sustainable decisions.
LCA data from the KBOB Table plays a crucial role in minimizing the environmental footprint of construction projects throughout their lifecycle. It helps evaluate manufacturing efforts, operating energy needs, and disposal impacts, ensuring comprehensive environmental assessments. The latest edition features updates like unique identifiers (UUID), improved eco-factors using the ecological scarcity method, and detailed biogenic carbon data for building materials.
Key updates include refined data for energy systems, photovoltaics, and material disposal. With insights into environmental impacts, the KBOB Table enables sustainable and future-proof construction practices, helping stakeholders optimize building performance and environmental responsibility. It’s an essential tool for achieving eco-friendly, resource-efficient designs.
