NollCO2

Sweden Green Building Council's net-zero certification, requiring a whole-life calculation plus documented reductions and balancing.

What is NollCO2?

NollCO2 certifies a building as net-zero climate impact over its life cycle. It requires a whole-life calculation, evidence of reductions against a reference, and a balancing of the remaining emissions.

It is the most demanding Swedish scheme on data quality, so the calculation has to be traceable product by product.

How Reduzer supports NollCO2

✓
Whole-life calculation covering the full NollCO2 phase set.
✓
Reduction evidence against the reference building, tracked as versions through design.
✓
Traceable data down to each EPD, which is what the certification review asks for.

FAQs

What Reduzer is, who it's for, and how it helps you reduce emissions and stay in control.

Does NollCO2 include operational energy?

Yes, it is a whole-life scheme, so operational energy and end-of-life phases are part of the calculation.

What does NollCO2 require?

A whole-life calculation, evidence of reductions against a reference, and a balancing of the remaining emissions to reach net zero.

How demanding is the data?

It is the most demanding Swedish scheme on data quality, so the calculation has to be traceable product by product, down to each EPD.
