Byggbranschen står för elva procent av koldioxidutsläppen i världen (WorldGBC, 2019). För att minimera den påverkan måste byggbranschen förbättra byggnaders hållbarhet. Detta skulle kunna göras genom att få en mer exakt förståelse för de laster som påverkar byggnader. En av de laster som påverkar dimensioneringen av byggnader är den nyttiga lasten. Den nyttiga lasten beror på belastningar som uppsThe construction sector stands for eleven percent of the carbon dioxide emissions in the world WorldGBC (2019).
