Accounting Framework for Bio-based Construction

The Accounting Framework for Bio-based Construction investigates how to resolve the deadlocked need for social housing by scaling biobased building through new financing models. This guidance document presents three interventions: 1) By identifying the opportunities to build exactly what is needed; building one-and two-person housing by better utilising existing buildings and adding timber and biobased building materials; 2) Providing a calculation model that supports the value-assessment of biobased contractors and partners, and 3) Introducing blended finance at the start of project planning process. With its integrated value assessment, this framework makes all values and opportunities visible for residents, streets, neighborhoods, cities, and regions, while connecting supply to demand and matching new market players with integrated solutions to shorten the lead time of building projects.
