About TurCoMDat

TurComDat is life cycle assessment database for Turkish construction materials. The data sets follow the international standards and norms and formatted to be used in building environmental performance assessment. It is developed to address the need for measurability of environmental performance of buildings. Every data set includes 24 environmental impacts from carbon to energy at each life cycle stage of the product. Majority of the data sets are independently third party verified by international experts and the rest is by the Academic Committee of SÜRATAM.

Building <br>LCA Calculations

Building
LCA Calculations

TurCoMDat is the first and only database in Turkey that enables the reliable calculation of building LCAs demanded by internationally known green building certification schemes such as LEED, BREEAM, DGNB and HQE using the locally produced materials.

Applications

Applications

TurCoMDat is prepared according to the international data harmonisation efforts such as EU InData Initiative. Harmonisation gives the database opportunity to use for in building assessment schemes and BIM applications. It is one of a kind in Turkey and one of the few in the Europe in terms of content and data quality (product specific).

Environmental <br>Sensibility

Environmental
Sensibility

TurCoMDat is the only database that contains local environmental performance information on construction materials prepared according to the international scientific norms targeted to architects, green building consultants, purchasing experts, engineers and developers with a desire to gain an edge against their competitors.

TurCoMDat with Numbers

TurCoMDat contains environmental performance of construction products for their functionality in a building context. It includes internationally verified 24 environmental indicators such as climate change, acidification, eutrophication and so on.

Each of the 24 environmental indicators are provided at each life cycle stage of the product from raw materials to production and use phase to disposal, totalling 17. In a technical terms, TurCoMDat contains data in a 3-dimensional matrix; number of products, life cycle stage and environmental indicators.

TurCoMDat currently includes products from 25 major producers in Turkey representing 13 sub-sectors in construction materials. Both the number of companies and products is increasing by the day. Generic datasets for each product representing manufacturing in Turkey is also available.
