BR requirements and calculations

In 2025, the documentation requirements in construction were tightened again. This places greater demands on the choices you make early in the building process.

At ABC Pavilloner, we actively work with LCA and LCC calculations—both internally and as part of the documentation in accordance with the Building Regulations. This gives you a solid basis for decision-making and confidence that your construction project meets current requirements.

LCA as an integral part of the design process

Today, all new construction projects must have their CO₂ footprint calculated based on a 50-year life cycle, and the values must comply with the set limit values, which are differentiated by building type and size.

For that reason, we work systematically with LCA in the design process. We have carried out analyses of our permanent modular buildings across several building types, so we know the climate performance of the structures.

That’s why we also know how to design buildings to comply with the limit values. Our starting point is primary structures in timber, which also help keep the climate impact below the limit values.

For you, this means we can help deliver a building that is documented and designed with both current and future climate requirements in mind.

LCC provides the full picture

At the same time, we are seeing increasing demand for LCC calculations. While LCA highlights the climate footprint, LCC highlights the building’s total cost over time.

Some materials create value through high durability and fewer replacements. With LCC analyses, the overall solution is assessed over a 50-year period, giving you a different perspective on your project.

We’re happy to help with your calculations

Our work with LCA and LCC is not limited to our own projects. We also offer support to consultants, developers, and partners with analyses and documentation.

If you need input on the climate requirements in BR, comparisons of structures, or decision support on life-cycle costs, we’re happy to contribute with both calculations and professional assessment.

For you, that means one partner who can support your decisions with data.

Benefits on the construction site

From 2025, construction sites have their own limit value of 1.5 kg CO₂. Our site modules and construction method can help you comply with those requirements.

The high level of completion in the modules ensures a short and efficient construction period on site. At the same time, our energy-efficient crew and foreman modules with low energy consumption can help ensure the project stays within the requirements.

We follow developments

The requirements in the Building Regulations are expected to be tightened further. That’s why we continuously stay up to date and work data-driven with LCA, LCC, and EPDs in our design process.

If you need input on the climate requirements in BR or help with analyses and calculations, you’re welcome to contact our sustainability advisor, Thomas.
