… are buildings for the sale (and purchase) of passenger vehicles. Rooms for repair work (workshops) are normally integrated. The buildings are generally composed of a large and well-appointed foyer and sales hall in which diverse car models can be presented. The hall-like foyer and sales area is generally combined with multi-storey partitioned spaces and annexes to provide office space, workshops, social rooms and sanitary facilities.
Car showrooms are normally designed as steel or reinforced concrete skeleton frames combined with insulating metal facades or sandwich thermo-elements. The large and well-appointed foyer and sales rooms generally feature glazed metal post-and-rail constructions.

Raw material categories (t)
Mineral raw material categories
The allocation of mineral building materials to raw material categories is based on formulas. These specify the type and quantity of raw materials required for the production of the mineral building materials. The differentiation according to raw material categories forms the basis for the estimation of raw material requirements as a contribution to the resource conservation discussion.
Waste categories (t)
Mineral waste categories
The allocation of mineral building materials to waste categories is based on the Waste Catalogue Ordinance (AVV). The waste categories reflect which construction and demolition materials are produced during demolition. Their differentiation is an important link towards the execution of recycling in order to identify future recycling potentials.
Material-induced emissions (kg)
Determination of the building material-induced emissions ("grey emissions") is based on life-cycle assessment data (Ökobaudat database). The Global Warming Potential (GWP) is taken into consideration. It indicates how much CO2 equivalent is generated during the production of building materials (modules A1-A3), taking into account the given energy mix. The statements regarding CO2 emissions help to describe greenhouse effects as a contribution to the discussion of climate protection aspects.
