typology of buildings representative of the building stock for the EU-25; calculation of the life cycle impacts of the building types for different environmental impact categories both at building and EU-25 level;  allocation of the environmental impacts to single building elements; ventilation, heat losses through roofs and external walls were found as important for a majority of single- and multi-family houses

possible environmental and socio-economic effects for two types of measures:
1) requiring high thermal insulation levels when individual building elements have to be renovated,
2) accelerating the retrofitting of individual building elements according to high energy efficiency standards;
