Denmark is advancing sustainable construction by addressing both operational and embodied CO₂ emissions through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Since 2023, BR18 regulations mandate LCA for all new buildings, setting CO₂ limits to guide design. This marks a national commitment to low-carbon development, driving innovation and accountability in the building sector.
