In the Nordic construction market, early decisions define both climate impact and cost. When carbon calculations begin at concept stage, teams can make informed material and design choices, ensure alignment with NS 3720, and meet EU Taxonomy and CSRD objectives from day one.
Early decisions lock in most of the impact
Up to 80% of a building’s lifetime emissions is determined in concept and schematic design. Material systems and structure set the trajectory. Once drawings are finalized, improvement options narrow and costs rise.
Cost efficiency comes from prevention
Comparing low-carbon alternatives early avoids expensive redesigns. Integrate carbon targets with budget checks before commitments are made.
Stronger data, smoother reporting
Starting early creates a clean data trail for LCA, EPD references, and ESG/CSRD disclosures. Reporting becomes faster and more credible.
Collaboration across the value chain
Shared early insight gives developers, architects, engineers, and municipalities one source of truth. Decisions become aligned and measurable.
Compliance and competitive advantage
Nordic tenders increasingly require transparent carbon documentation. Early assessments demonstrate verifiable reductions and improve bid strength and access to green finance.
Sustainability starts early
Early carbon calculations reduce risk, increase project value, and turn sustainability into a design advantage from the start.
