The Sweden Green Building Council's (SGBC)NollCO2 certification has become a key standard for minimising building climate impact. The framework covers both new construction and refurbishments.
Developed in response to the EU’s 2050 climate neutrality goals and Sweden’s own 2045 net-zero target, NollCO2 is designed to push the construction and real estate sector toward radical emissions reductions across a building’s entire lifecycle. The framework is focused on immediate carbon reduction through verified life-cycle assessment (LCA) and limited offsetting, and shapes market behaviour in Sweden and influences design, procurement, and construction decisions from the earliest planning stages.
