The calculation of a building’s lifecycle carbon footprint and carbon handprint, as well as the preparation of a building product inventory within the service, strictly comply with Finnish legislation. This means that the service’s calculation rules are based on the Finnish Building Act and the regulations issued under it concerning climate assessments and building product inventories.
In the interest of transparency in carbon footprint calculations, a plain-language description of the service’s calculation rules is freely available to users. Because the calculation rules comply with the requirements of the Building Act, the climate assessment and building product inventory reports generated by the service are accepted directly by building control authorities.
The primary purpose of the service is the calculation of a building’s lifecycle carbon footprint. Through the same process, a carbon handprint assessment, a building product inventory, and a material declaration are generated without any additional effort.
Among the various calculation tools available on the market, the Product Information Carbon Calculator belongs to the category of so-called full-service calculators. This means that users can modify calculation parameters as comprehensively as possible within the framework of the applicable calculation rules.
We promise that the Product Information Carbon Calculator provides the smoothest carbon footprint and carbon handprint calculation experience on the market. The service is easy and fast to use. It has been developed in close collaboration with carbon footprint and carbon handprint specialists, as well as professionals who are required in their work to prepare material declarations and building product inventories.
A leading user interface designer in the field has also been involved in the development process. As a result, we are confident in promising that the threshold for adopting the service is as low as possible. The onboarding process is made even easier through comprehensive written instructions and video tutorials. Additional support is provided by Rakennustieto’s outstanding customer service team.
The service addresses the growing market for building carbon footprint and carbon handprint calculations. It has been specifically tailored to meet the requirements of Finnish legislation. With the Product Information Carbon Calculator, preparing a climate assessment and a building product inventory in accordance with Finnish regulations is as straightforward as possible.
The new Finnish Building Act entered into force at the beginning of 2025. The requirements set out in the Act regarding the preparation of a climate assessment—that is, the calculation of a building’s lifecycle carbon footprint and carbon handprint—as well as the preparation of a building product inventory, came into effect with the legislation. Consequently, a climate assessment and a building product inventory must be prepared for construction projects that receive a building permit after the beginning of 2026.
With the same effort, the service also enables you to prepare a material declaration, which was included in the first version of the new Building Act. However, it was subsequently removed from the mandatory requirements as part of amendments to the legislation. Nevertheless, the information contained in the material declaration regarding the materials used in a building and the origin of those materials remains valuable from the perspective of taxonomy reporting.
We promise that the Product Information Carbon Calculator is the easiest-to-use full-service calculation application on the market while also offering highly competitive pricing. By a full-service calculation application, we mean that users can comprehensively adjust product-level data used as input for calculations.
The service has been developed in collaboration with a wide range of professionals who carry out building lifecycle carbon footprint and carbon handprint calculations as part of their daily work.
The service strictly follows the calculation rules established by Finnish legislation. You can therefore have complete confidence that calculations are performed exactly as required under Finland’s Building Act.
Because users are free to modify all calculation input data, we can confidently state that the service is one of the most flexible solutions on the market. At the same time, it remains easy to use and intuitive. This has also been confirmed by numerous end users.
The reports generated by the service are provided in a format preferred by users and are accepted directly by both clients and building control authorities. If desired, users can export report data to Excel and easily transfer it into their own reporting templates.
What sets the Product Information Carbon Calculator apart from all competing solutions is that the service is centred around building products rather than EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) documents, which are the primary focus of many other calculators. Users select products for their calculations either from the Product Information Service maintained by Rakennustieto or, alternatively, from the database of average products maintained by CO2data.fi and operated by the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE).
The carbon footprint of transportation, installation, and demolition can be calculated using the area-based values provided by the CO2data.fi database. At the same time, users always have the option of replacing these values with project-specific figures that they have calculated themselves.
Several potential end users participated in the development of the service. In other words, it is a service developed by the very professionals who perform these calculations. Based on users’ initial experiences with the service, we have received feedback indicating that it appears easy to use.
We have also responded quickly to feedback provided by users. In addition, we have received positive feedback for openly publishing the calculation rules and for ensuring that the service performs calculations correctly within the framework of those rules.
To make the service easier to use, a comprehensive help portal has been published within the service. All areas of the service are explained through written instructions and tutorial videos. The help portal provides extensive support for calculating a building’s carbon footprint and carbon handprint using the service.
We will continue to update the help portal as needed, and we welcome feedback on any instructions you feel may be missing.
More detailed pricing information can be found on this page.
You can receive a free three-week trial of the service by sending us a request through the online store.
From 2026 onwards, construction projects are required to include a climate assessment (carbon footprint and carbon handprint) and a building product inventory.
With the Product Information Carbon Calculator, you can handle emissions calculations and meet all requirements without separate tools.
