Given that OneClick LCA’s CArbon Heroes is based on the database of LCA projects done over time, are there any European-wide benchmarks that can be taken as a reference?
Also, is there any data to benchmark the GWP of concrete buildings against wood and steel (having the GWP of the envelope and structure alone)?

Edit: Just to add that while we do not have a combined European profile, for specifically Europe there are profiles for:
