- Abstract
The rise of populations worldwide puts high demand on the society to build more housing. Studies need to be provided in relevant areas to create decision basis information to achieve climate neutrality by year 2045. Low carbon concrete, where the content of lime is reduced and replaced with slag, can reduce the climate impact with up to 50% without compromising strength or durability. This is essential for reducing CO2 emissions in the construction sector. The primary goal of the study is to create guidance on how low kg CO2-eqv/m2 GFA (gross floor area) emissions can be achieved in multi-family houses with a framework and foundation out of low carbon concrete for similar projects. The work was based on a quantitative study where quantifiable data was collected through case studies of two different reference projects. Data acquired from the case studies was obtained through the software programs – Bidcon, Solibri and VICO Office. Literature studies were used to collect existing knowledge and theories in the field. Calculated results defined by system boundaries set by climate declaration from January 1, 2022, presents emissions of 221 kg CO2-eqv/m2 GFA for project 1 and 176 kg CO2-eqv/m2 GFA for project 2. Building components included in the climate declaration are all load-bearing structures, the building envelope, and interior walls. Only module A1-A5 in the construction phase is considered for the building within these system boundaries. No limit values are set for these system boundaries. Calculated results defined by system boundaries set by climate declaration from July 1, 2025, presents emissions of 286 kg CO2-eqv/m2 GFA for project 1 and 241 kg CO2-eqv/m2 GFA for project 2. Building components included in the climate declaration are all load-bearing structures, the building envelope, and interior walls. Additions are also made for fixed interior furnishing, interior surfaces, and installations. Only module A1-A5 in the construction phase is considered for t
