Indicate Life: Austria sets new standards for sustainable building!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - On February 27, 2025, the indicate life project was started in Austria with great success, which is committed to the goal of providing resilient data for climate strategies in construction. At the opening event, numerous experts in the construction and real estate industry discussed the challenges and opportunities that arise in the area of ​​life cycle emissions (Whole-Life Carbon, WLC). Project manager Anna-Vera Deinhammer explained that transparent data is the key to effective decarbonization at national and European level. This project coordinated by the EU initiative is intended to develop a central LCA emission database in order to improve data availability and comparability, such as ots.at reported.

indicate life is a significant further development of the original indicate project, which has made important progress in the field of WLC data in recent years. Particularly noteworthy is the commitment of partners such as the Building Performance Institute Europe (BPIE), which gave valuable insights into European guidelines for construction. The project aims to develop specific national WLC methods in order to comply with the EU requirements for carbon neutrality by 2050, as well as the World Green Building Council . Together with experts from the fields of politics, industry and science, the project is intended to provide decisive insights into the construction and real estate sector and support national strategies to reduce carbon emissions.

A special highlight of the kick-off event was the "Call for Projects", in which all actors are invited to present their projects and actively participate in a data-based future in the construction system. This initiative is not only an important step for sustainability in construction, but also ensures that Austria's efforts to make an environmentally friendly construction are embedded in the European context. With indicate life, a platform is created that promotes cooperation at national and European level and supports innovative approaches to reduce emissions in the construction industry.
