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 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 roadmap by GBCe was produced as part of the Building Life project in 2022. The roadmap details how to decarbonise Ireland’s built environment across its whole life cycle.
