The database for ecological building and renovation.
baubook is a database for building products. It simplifies ecological and healthy building and facilitates verification within the framework of ecological tenders, building certifications and funding systems. baubook provides validated and structured building material data for the calculation of energy and ecological indicators.
baubook supports energy-efficient and sustainable construction for a healthier living environment. The core of baubook is the database with more than 4,000 validated and quality-assured building products from over 400 manufacturers.
The baubook building material data is provided with comprehensive building ecology and building physics values. These are used to calculate energy and ecological indicators and are transmitted to programme manufacturers of energy performance certificate software on a daily basis. Every year, around 800,000 planners, tradespeople, local authorities and consumers use the baubook platform to compare products - free of charge, neutrally and without registration.
baubook currently maps 10 different eco-programmes and makes it easier to provide evidence in the context of ecological tenders, building certifications and subsidy systems. In this way, baubook helps everyone with targeted construction focussing on reduced ecological impact and circularity.
The platform contains eco-criteria, guideline and characteristic values, useful tender texts and is available free of charge to architects, specialist planners and builders. baubook has developed specific online tools for the calculation and assessment of building components and buildings.
