The consultation deadline is May 5, 2026.  <\/p>\n<h3>What is new in the consultation proposal?<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Several building types are subject to greenhouse gas accounting requirements<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In 2022, a requirement was introduced to prepare greenhouse gas accounts for apartment blocks and commercial buildings. The requirement is now being extended to apply to larger single-family house projects over 1,000 m\u00b2 of usable floor space (e.g. larger terraced house or field developments). <\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>More building components must be included in greenhouse gas accounts<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Today&#8217;s regulations have a relatively limited scope of building components. The consultation proposal expands this to cover the most emission-intensive parts of the building, including foundations and ground structures. The greenhouse gas inventory must include at least:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Support system (slabs, columns, beams and load-bearing walls)<\/li>\n<li>Exterior walls, floor partitions and roofs<\/li>\n<li>Foundations and ground structures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Technical installations (HVAC and electrical) are currently not included.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Limit values are measured for the entire building<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The limit values for greenhouse gas emissions must be measured in kg CO\u2082 equivalents per m\u00b2 gross floor area (GFA). There are no requirements for specific types of material, and it is the overall emission level that determines whether the building meets the requirement, not the level of the individual building elements. <\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>The emissions must be documented in a completion certificate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The proposal sets clearer requirements for how the limit values should be documented:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A <strong>greenhouse gas account<\/strong> shall be prepared based on a recognized method (life cycle analysis).<\/li>\n<li>The documentation must be part of the measure&#8217;s documentation in the building case<\/li>\n<li>The carbon footprint shall:\n<ul>\n<li>Available at <strong>completion certificate<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Could be presented at <strong>inspection<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Handed over to <strong>the building owner<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Reporting does not take place to a central national database, but is part of the municipality&#8217;s ordinary building case processing. Responsibility follows other responsibility rules in the Planning and Building Act, with clearer expectations for designers and builders. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What does the proposal for climate requirements in TEK mean for the construction industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For building product manufacturers, the climate requirements will mean that documented low climate footprints (EPDs) and the lifespan of materials will be given increased value. While clients and contractors will have greater responsibility for the choice of materials, waste and processes. <\/p>\n<p>Initially, the proposed climate requirements are not very ambitious &#8211; but will help the &#8220;worst in class&#8221; to lift themselves up to a minimum level. There is also an alternative proposal for 10% stricter climate requirements, which many believe is a more sensible starting point. In any case, we must believe that the proposal marks the start of a gradual tightening of climate requirements in the construction sector.  <\/p>\n<p>The Norwegian Wood Cluster is organizing a team meeting for its members on 27 March, in collaboration with Treindustrien. At this meeting, we will provide further information about the consultation proposal and discuss a joint statement from the cluster &#8211; also regarding the handling of biogenic carbon.  <\/p>\n<h3><strong>What do the organizations say about the consultation proposal?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;834322&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;900&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;2601&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;200808&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;128956&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>NHO The construction industry<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;When the focus is shifted from individual requirements to actual climate results, we can clean up a fragmented regulatory framework and remove requirements that result in high costs and little effect,&#8221; says Guro Hauge, Director of Business Policy at NHO Byggen\u00e6ringen.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full post from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhobyggenaringen.no\/artikler\/2026\/regjeringen-foreslar-nye-klimakrav-i-tek--gir-storre-frihet-og-tydeligere-klimaeffekt\/?_cldee=Pmqvuqphge4D0V3SzLU141jl-bgA5DDxdR4qplXiObeaQGOMIcSPxuDHBH4tOkIX&amp;recipientid=contact-d4a29a2ca584ef118187005056b762b6-9a6d25ebd35740dbb7a5d2130f8a7448&amp;esid=4d8b2dba-92d6-f011-8184-005056b718c1\">NHO Byggen\u00e6ringen<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;834322&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;900&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;2602&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;575866&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;152584&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Building products industry<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;The construction projects that will find it difficult to meet the requirements are probably those that are primarily based on imported building materials.
