Did you know that the useful life of buildings is estimated at 60 years?
Old houses are often demolished to create a replacement building and to make better use of the building plot. In terms of grey energy, however, this is by no means sustainable.

Gray energy is present in everything from the extraction of raw materials to their transportation, processing and refining. It even includes the replacement of materials or components and their disposal, including the necessary tools.

For a term most of us have never heard of, when we’re thinking about our environment, our planet, and our own homes, grey energy calculations are pretty important.
