The main goal of LIFE Level(s) project is to mainstream sustainable buildings in Europe through greater awareness and use of the indicators within the Level(s) framework. According to previous experience, it is challenging for most European companies to apply the indicators within Level(s) such are LCA, LCC and IAQ, due to a lack of data and a lack of expertise in the industry. For that reason, the idea behind the LIFE Level(s) project is to work with stakeholders form the public, private and certification schemes to explore how the mentioned key Level(s) indicators can be implemented on a pan-European scale. Another objective is achieving the greater sense among the main actors in the industry and government on the necessity of Level(s) and a lifecycle approach framework in addressing climate environmental risk. Also, the conditions for alignment of Europe's leading green building certification schemes with Level(s) would be possible through building the capacities of stakeholders across the whole sector, integrating the public authorities in order to align Green Public Procurement (GPP) criteria with Level(s) and identifying necessary administrative and data requirements. The overlapping goal is to generate awareness across the industry and government on the necessity of Level(s) and a life cycle approach framework in addressing climate and environmental risk.
