  abstract     = {{<p>Decarbonising the built environment is essential to mitigating the climate crisis, as buildings significantly contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Adaptive reuse presents a sustainable alternative to demolition and new construction. This study evaluated the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of an adapted building through renovation and operation across three scenarios, compared to a reference scenario of demolition and new construction. The case study building was a decommissioned office building in Sweden undergoing adaptation for residential use. Using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology compliant with Swedish law and international standards, the GWP of renovation and operation over 50 years was determined. Results indicate that adaptation significantly reduced GWP compared to demolition and new construction, offering approximately 30% lower climate impact over the building's extended operational lifetime. However, uncertainties about the climate impact of energy sources and renovation measures highlight the need for further research.</p>}},
