  • Effective establishment of circularity is key to achieving net zero

    Open AccessKarl W Steininger, Raphaela Maier et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2026

  • Towards net zero

    Open AccessCarlos E Caballero-Güereca, Johanna Vogel et al.ARTICLEBuildings and Cities2026References: 5

    Limiting global warming in line with the Paris Agreement requires rapid and ambitious decarbonisation of the global building and real estate (BRE) sector. This study presents the first global systematic review and structured alignment assessment of BRE decarbonisation efforts from 212 publications over the past two decades, evaluating them against six relevant alignment factors: temperature-based targets, main indicators, life-cycle scope, decarb…

  • Preserving buildings

    Open AccessNicolas Alaux, Veronika Kulmer et al.ARTICLEBuildings and Cities2025

    Buildings exert substantial pressure on global resources and contribute significantly to waste and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With ambitious targets like Austria’s aim for climate neutrality before 2050, assessing the large-scale potential of circular economy strategies is essential for policymaking. However, previous studies at the national level lack details about building components and materials. Using an integrated material flow analysi…

  • Assessing the prospective environmental impacts and circularity potentials of building stocks

    Open AccessNicolas Alaux, Benedict Schwark et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2024

    Building stock models can provide information on the current and future environmental impacts of buildings. Therefore, these models are useful tools for identifying trajectories that are compatible with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. However, the models often lack detail, which can lead to underestimations of the actual impacts of national building stocks, resulting in misinformed decision‐making. This study presents the steps needed to c…

  • Den 17 Nachhaltigen Entwicklungszielen den Weg bereiten

    Open AccessIngomar Glatz, Franziska Allerberger et al.ARTICLEGAIA - Ecological Perspectives…2021

    Das Projekt Universitäten und Nachhaltige EntwicklungsZiele (UniNEtZ) ‐ mit 16 Universitäten, dem Climate Change Centre Austria, der Geologischen Bundesanstalt und dem studentischen Netzwerk forum n ‐ entwickelt Optionen zur Erfüllung der Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) der Agenda 2030 . Die Optionen können aber erst wirksam werden, wenn Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Politik bei der Umsetzung miteinbezogen werden

  • Embodied GHG emissions of buildings – The hidden challenge for effective climate change mitigation

    Open AccessMartin Röck, Marcella Ruschi Mendes Saade et al.ARTICLEApplied Energy2020

    Buildings are major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and contributors to the climate crisis. To meet climate-change mitigation needs, one must go beyond operational energy consumption and related GHG emissions of buildings and address their full life cycle. This study investigates the global trends of GHG emissions arising across the life cycle of buildings by systematically compiling and analysing more than 650 life cycle assessment (LC…

  • Treibhausgasbilanzierung von Universitäten

    Open AccessAlexander Passer, Dominik Maierhofer et al.ARTICLEGAIA - Ecological Perspectives…2020

    In der Treibhausgasbilanz (THG-Bilanz) von Universitäten sind die Emissionen von Universitätsgebäuden, sogenannte graue Emissionen, bis dato nicht inbegriffen. Dabei tragen sie, wie das Beispiel des Electronic Based Systems Center an der Technischen Universität Graz (TUG) zeigt, zu rund 18 Prozent der gesamten jährlichen THG-Emissionen der TUG bei. Bei der jährlichen THG-Bilanz und den THG-Reduktionszielen sind sie deshalb miteinzubeziehen

  • Carbon budgets for buildings

    Open AccessGuillaume Habert, Martin Röck et al.ARTICLEBuildings and Cities2020Cited by: 3References: 10

    Target values for creating carbon budgets for buildings are important for developing climate-neutral building stocks. A lack of clarity currently exists for defining carbon budgets for buildings and what constitutes a unit of assessment—particularly the distinction between production- and consumption-based accounting. These different perspectives on the system and the function that is assessed hinder a clear and commonly agreed definition of ‘car…
