Service lives of building elements in the European Union

The dataset was developed to support the "Analysis of Life-cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals of EU Buildings and Construction" project, the aim of which is to assess the current and future environmental impacts of the European building sector through the development of a building stock model, using a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach.
The dataset contains information on the estimated service lives of common building elements and components in each EU Member State.
The data were collected to be used as background information for the aforementioned LCA, and specifically with the goal of identifying the replacement interval of each building element within the building stock model.
