Based on over 15 000 building LCA projects

The dataset, containing 3737 European buildings, is consistently calculated in line with EN 15978:2011 and Level(s) methodologies for life-cycle phases A1-A4, B4-B5 and C1-C4.
The retained sample is obtained by screening a total dataset of over 15 000 building LCA projects to retain only projects with consistent minimum scope and plausibility
