An excerpt from our previous and current projects in which we have developed, checked or processed life cycle assessment (LCA) data:
Research and innovation projects
Zukunft Bau - Generic data sets based on ecoinvent - (ongoing)
Commissioned by: BBSR Forschungsinitiative Zukunft Bau, reference number: 10.08.17.7-24.51
On behalf of the BBSR, SURAP creates generic LCA datasets based on the ecoinvent database, calculates environmental indicators according to DIN EN 15804-A2 and compares the results with GaBi-based datasets. The aim is to systematically analyze methodological differences and develop recommendations for the robust use of mixed data sources in ÖKOBAUDAT and QNG - as a basis for uniform and comprehensible sustainability assessments in the construction industry.
Raw material costs in ÖKOBAUDAT (2024)
Commissioned by: BBSR Forschungsinitiative Zukunft Bau, reference number: 10.08.17.7-23.19
In the project, selected ÖKOBAUDAT datasets were supplemented with the indicators RMI (raw material input) and TMR (total material consumption) in order to better reflect resource use in the construction sector. To this end, life cycle inventories were created, documented and evaluated. SURAP GmbH managed and implemented the project, accompanied by the University of Kassel.
ReBAU Innovation - shortened life cycle assessments (2022)
Commissioned by: Zukunftsagentur Rheinisches Revier as part of the ERDF funding program Regio.NRW
In the ReBAU project, shortened life cycle assessments for innovative building products were created in the "Innovation" work package. The participating manufacturers received compact environmental assessments based on ecoinvent data, focusing on the manufacturing phase.
EPD projects
