Other non-residential buildings include nurseries and kindergartens, school buildings, college/university buildings, research institutes, museums, theatres, opera houses, libraries, congress centres, churches and other religious buildings, medical treatment institutes, buildings for therapeutic baths or healthcare, sports buildings as well as recreation and community centres (Destatis 2014).
Examples of other non-domestic buildings are nurseries, kindergartens, crèches, schools, vocational colleges, lecture halls, seminar buildings, laboratories, galleries, libraries, chapels, medical practices, sports and multi-purpose halls, swimming pools or clubhouses.
Building material
Material composition indicators (t)
The detailed data on material contents and building characteristics are presented here in Excel format. The building material allocations can be taken from the building material classification.
| ID | Building material group | Total | Foundation | Exterior wall | Interior wall | Ceiling | Roof |

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 from the Ökobaudat database (according to DIN EN 15804+A2). 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.
