Merely Fulfilling The Minimum Requirements Is Not Enough In Sustainable Construction

Sustainability and combating climate change are the constant subject of attention in both regulation and practice. However, the regulation reform and amendments are raising emotional responses and arousing discussion in the construction industry. A milestone of sorts will be reached during this autumn as the Finnish Government submitted to Parliament bills for a new act on construction as well as an amendment to the Land Use and Building Act which would repeal the current sections on construction and add new provisions on the digitalisation of land use data. The acts are scheduled to enter into force on 1 January 2024.
