This paper by the University of Zagreb provides an overview of the provisions and comments on the draft Delegated Act resulting from the INDICATE LIFE project. The Directive requires zero emission buildings (ZEB) based on high energy efficiency and renewable energy, while the Delegated Act establishes a common methodology. This paper is written in Croatian.

This infographic provides a summary of the main objectives of the INDICATE LIFE project.

This Infographic provides details on the data collection challenges faced in the INDICATE LIFE project, and how INDICATE LIFE is providing solutions to these.

This Academic Paper, developed under the INDICATE Pilot Project, addresses the lack of a harmonised LCA method in Spain by developing a data infrastructure based on co-creation, the development of new data and the compilation of existing data.

This report by BPIE presents the INDICATE LIFE project's recommendations on the design principles for an effective EU whole life cycle (WLC) assessment framework for buildings.

This roadmap by Hungary GBC was produced as part of the Building Life project in 2023. The roadmap details how to decarbonise Hungary’s built environment across its whole life cycle.

This report by Construct Innovate outlines the approach to collecting LCA data for Irish buildings and the resulting benchmarks.

This report by GBCe, developed under the INDICATE Pilot project, outlines the approach to establishing a national baseline for whole life carbon in new residential and office buildings in Spain.

This extended policy brief report, prepared by Czech GBC as part of the INDICATE Pilot project, provides a more detailed overview of WLC assessment in the Czech Republic.

This policy brief, prepared by Czech GBC as part of the INDICATE Pilot project, provides an overview of progress towards climate-neutral buildings in the Czech Republic

This report by BPIE was produced as part of the INDICATE Pilot project and supports European and national policymakers in preparing for WLC regulations in buildings.

This policy brief, prepared by IGBC as part of the INDICATE Pilot project, provides an overview of whole-life carbon assessments within the Irish built environment.

IGBC, as part of the INDICATE Pilot project, developed a prototype Life Cycle GWP Assessment Methodology for Ireland which has been applied to 50 current buildings to establish a baseline of the carbon impact of building activities in Ireland.

This video recording captures highlights from the closing event of the INDICATE Pilot project, held in Brussels in October 2024. Key project partners reflect on the project’s outcomes and insights from European building-level whole life carbon (WLC) data. The INDICATE Pilot was implemented in Ireland, the Czech Republic, and Spain between 2022 and 2024, supporting evidence-based approaches to whole life carbon assessment across Europe.

This report by the Spanish national team presents a summary of the methodology, preliminary results, and lessons learnt from the INDICATE Pilot project in Spain.

This report, conducted as part of the INDICATE project, aims to streamline the process of WLC calculation and establish a consistent national assessment method specific to the Czech context.
