With the ÖKOBAUDAT platform, the Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building (BMWSB) Germany provides all stakeholders with a standardized database for the life cycle assessment of buildings. At the heart of the platform is the online database with life cycle assessment data on building materials, construction, transport, energy and disposal processes. With the help of life cycle assessment tools, such as the eLCA provided by the BBSR, the entire life cycle of a building can be compiled with the ÖKOBAUDAT database. The ÖKOBAUDAT is not intended for the creation of product life cycle assessments.

The data is subject to strict quality criteria and can be used in the various building evaluation systems. The database system allows user-friendly online research of the data records via the search and filter functions.

The data published in ÖKOBAUDAT can be accessed free of charge. The responsibility for content and values ​​remains with the owner of the datasets.
