Abstract:
This paper analyses the integration of CO2 pricing and other climate impact costs. In a first step, the basics of economic efficiency calculations are presented. The topic of sustainability is then examined with reference to the causes of climate change. The effects of greenhouse gas emissions caused by the construction sector are analysed. In this context, the environmental indicators and the associated CO2 pricing are discussed in general terms. This is followed by an exemplary investigation and evaluation of the integration of a CO2 shadow price in the form of an economic feasibility study. As part of this study, further potentials are shown that arise in the area of circular construction from deconstruction. With a view to the approach in other countries, possibilities for dealing with climate impact costs are explored. It can be shown that the integration of a shadow price at the currently recommended level does not yet achieve the desired steering effect towards more climate-friendly construction.
