Real-Time LCA implements the Finnish **Climate Declaration for buildings**, the assessment method published by the **[Finnish Ministry of the Environment](https://ym.fi/en/climate-declaration-for-buildings)**. Two ruleset variants are exposed — **Climate Declaration 2026–2028** for the initial implementation period and **Climate Declaration 2029** for the subsequent ruleset.

Both variants currently share the same module set, reference study period, and indicator; they are kept as separate calculation types so that projects locked to a specific assessment year cannot be inadvertently re-calculated against a different ruleset.

## Climate Declaration 2026–2028

<LifecyclePhases included={['A1A3', 'A4', 'A5', 'B4', 'B6', 'C1', 'C2', 'C3', 'C4', 'D']} note="Blue = required modules under the Finnish Climate Declaration (2026–2028 ruleset)." />

* **Reference study period:** 50 years.
* **Indicator:** Global Warming Potential (GWP), kg CO₂-eq per m² GFA per year.
* **Threshold:** none defined in Real-Time LCA at this time. The Finnish authorities are expected to introduce limit values during the ruleset's effective period; this page will be updated when those are implemented in the platform.

## Climate Declaration 2029

The 2029 ruleset uses the same module set as the 2026–2028 ruleset and is exposed as a separate calculation type to ring-fence projects submitted under different effective dates.

<LifecyclePhases included={['A1A3', 'A4', 'A5', 'B4', 'B6', 'C1', 'C2', 'C3', 'C4', 'D']} note="Blue = required modules under the Finnish Climate Declaration (2029 ruleset)." />

* **Reference study period:** 50 years.
* **Indicator:** Global Warming Potential (GWP), kg CO₂-eq per m² GFA per year.
* **Threshold:** none defined yet.

## Building Component Inventory and Talo 2000

For projects imported from BIM models structured per the Finnish **Talo 2000** classification, Real-Time LCA's IFC ingestion uses the Talo 2000 class as one of the classification options available during material mapping. See [IFC file upload](/user-guide/integrations/ifc-file-upload) for how classification systems are picked up at import time.

## Custom and Level(s)

Real-Time LCA additionally exposes **Custom** and **Level(s)** (full EN 15978 module set, see [Level(s)](/methodology-and-compliance/levels)) for Finnish projects, useful for parallel reporting alongside a Climate Declaration submission.

## Limitations

* No regulatory limit value is configured in Real-Time LCA for either Climate Declaration variant at this time. The result is reported numerically; compliance against any limit value introduced by the Finnish authorities will be added as the regulation is finalised.
* Output-format details (the format and submission workflow expected by the Finnish authorities) are tracked separately and will be added to this page when the export pipeline is finalised.
