EU framework for calculating the global warming potential of new buildings

The Commission has opened the feedback period on draft rules relating to the calculation of the life-cycle global warming potential (GWP) of new buildings. This draft delegated act builds on a series of consultations and workshops since the start of this year.

Following this 4 week feedback period (which closes on 31 October) and an opinion from the relevant expert group (likely before the end of October), the aim is that the delegated regulation can be formally adopted in December. The objective is to make the national values for the life-cycle GWP of new buildings comparable.
