Definition. The building environmental performance (MPG) spreads environmental cost over the lifetime. It builds on the Environmental Cost Indicator and converts it to a yearly figure, accounting for a material’s lifespan and reusability, in euros per square metre per year; the lower the MPG, the more sustainable the material.
In the study, the MPG ranged from €0.005/m²/year (cellulose) to €0.306/m²/year (perlite). New Economy’s circular insulation study for Amsterdam reports this.
