The Laboratory of Construction Materials (LMC), together with renowned experts from
, is leading a Global Building Data Initiative (GBDI) aimed at establishing a global data initiative to inform action for reducing resource use and upfront embodied carbon of new buildings. The initiative seeks to assess the current status quo through building data analysis and benchmarking, promote consistent target setting, and inform effective decarbonization actions. By empowering decision-makers in industry and policy, the initiative will drive decarbonization action for buildings considering a whole life-cycle approach. The initiative aims for a global assessment of resource use and embodied carbon of new buildings, with special attention to involvement of crucial Global South regions. It will develop a coordinated, open, and scalable data protocol and the technical infrastructure required for global data collection and analysis.
