The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on sustainability, standards, permits and carbon footprint assessment methods. The intention of the theoretical part is to give background to the topics that are discussed during the research part.
As a result of the thesis, suggestions of development are given out and areas that need further consideration are presented.
