Advanced data platforms to integrate whole life carbon in building information tools, assessments, and certification (Built4People Partnership)

Overview

Funding for projects developing advanced data platforms that integrate whole life carbon assessments into building information tools, certifications, and digital product passports. Targets consortia aiming to improve data interoperability, accuracy, and alignment with EU decarbonisation policies for the built environment.

Who Can Apply

Consortia of legal entities (e.g., research institutions, SMEs, industry, public bodies) established in eligible countries. Participation of non-EU/non-associated countries is permitted if funding is secured through specific provisions.
