Storage buildings are non-residental buildings used for the storage of all types of goods.
Storage buildings include: warehouses for public food provision; warehouses for the police, border protection agencies and other storage builings (Destatis 2014). These are, for example, warehouses, cold stores or grain silos.
Building material
Material indicators (t)

The building material classification is orientated to the information needs of the actors from various levels of action and subject areas. The building material allocations can be taken from the building material classification.
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 (t)
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.
The determination of Global Warming Potential (GWP) is based on ÖKOBBAUDAT data (conforming to DIN EN 15804 + A2). It indicates how many CO₂ equivalents are emitted considering the respective energy mix. The CO₂ emissions provide important information for describing greenhouse effects and contribute to discussions of climate protection aspects. This assessment considers modules from manufacturing to waste management (A1-A3; B1; C1-C4). For some of the stored datasets, primarily from the wood products sector, ÖKOBAUDAT contains various scenarios for module C. The data used here reflect the current standard disposal scenario for the respective building product.
