HORIZON-EIC-2023-ACCELERATORCHALLENGES-04: EIC Accelerator Challenge: New European Bauhaus and Architecture, Engineering and Construction digitalisation for decarbonisation

Background and scopeThe European Commission’s “Fit for 55” package set an ambitious target of reducing net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 55% by 2030. Achieving it is key in reaching climate neutrality by 2050 as proposed under the European Green Deal81. But the reality is that our built environment represents 5-12% of CO2 emissions in the EU, so should contribute considerably to reductions in GHG emissions. Life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of buildings show a clear reduction trend due to improved operational energy performance. However, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analyses [...]
