Description

Two associations in the Brussels Capital Region, Inter-Environnement Bruxelles and the Association du Quartier Léopold, have developed a calculation tool to assess the impact of a construction project on the production of greenhouse gases. The tool calculates the environmental impact of demolishing a building and reconstructing a new one compared to renovating the existing building.

The tool is in French but very easy to manipulate, so try it for yourself!
