The single-family house for Germany is a building type covering single- and two-family houses up to 1948, 1949-1978, 1979-1990 and from 1991. The definition is based on statistics on the housing stock (Destatis Fachserie 5, Heft 1 in combination with the supplementary survey of the micro-census, each for 2014). The shares of the individual building age classes in the total stock are decisive. The average building was generated for calculations with reference to building materials within the framework of the IOER-Monitor (https://www.ioer-monitor.de/en/).

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.
