LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT (LCA)

(GWP) Global Warming Potential

A 'Net Zero Embodied Carbon’ asset: – Total GHG emissions and removals over an asset’s lifecycle (Modules A1-A5, B1-B5 and C1-C4) – are minimized , meeting local carbon targets (e.g. kgCO2e/m2) – with additional ‘offsets’ , equals zero . •

It is recommended to calculate embodied carbon emissions , as this will represent one of the largest emission component in your GHG inventory, it is a requirement of the EU Taxonomy, and certifiers, investors are increasingly asking for it. • This requires collecting the components of the building and calculate embodied emissions based on LCA analysis using • This emission element is a major contributor to the industry’s impact, and also targeted by legislators and other organizations as a number one factor to reduce and ask for in terms of compliance. • Moreover, with this GTC would be ahead of the curve in emissions measurement. The buildings’ design teams and general contractor representatives will need to be involved in collecting the relevant data based on which the inventory is created. either Environmental Product Declarations or an approximative product lifecycle emission figure.
