This article examines how the construction industry impacts the environment by calculating the carbon footprint during house production, focusing on material requirements for low-energy and standard designs. The main goal is to determine the environmental impact of building houses. The study found that both low-energy and standard houses have similar carbon footprints during production, suggesting a lack of motivation to construct more eco-friendly buildings. They determined that carbon dioxide emissions play a significant role in the environmental impact of constructing houses, highlighting the importance of considering sustainability in construction processes.
