Launched in 2019, theRIBA 2030 Climate Challengeis the Institute’s response to the climate emergency. The challenge sets out ambitious targets for operational energy, embodied carbon and potable water to be achieved in buildings in use. Signatories undertake to attempt the targets and to submit pr...
This e-book presents an overview of how to start integrating embodied carbon studies in your projects. Why Calculate Embodied Carbon in the Early Stages of a Project? Annually, the embodied carbon of building structure, substructure, and enclosures are responsible for 11% of global GHG emissions ...
Daniel Hess, Sustainability Specialist REPM, discusses how and why real estate investors need to start tackling their embodied carbon emissions.

Measuring embodied carbon is complicated. It requires tracking materials through fantastically elaborate manufacturing supply chains. With so many variables, “the precision of a great deal of ecodata is low,” writes British materials scientist Michael Ashby in his bookMaterials and the Environment(But...
Embodied Carbon calculations are based on: Thermal Properties according to the Energy Analytical Model (Revit Material, Schematic Type, or Conceptual Type). EC Definition mapped to that Material. Schematic types defined in Energy Settings are the...
Energy and carbon embodied in the international trade of Brazil: an input-output approach. All goods and services produced in an economy are directly and/or indirectly associated with energy use and, according to the type of fuel utilized, with C... Machado,Giovani,Schaeffer,... - 《...
The term Embodied Energy or Embodied Carbon refers to the sum impact of all greenhouse gas emissions attributed to a material during its life cycle. This cycle encompasses extraction, manufacturing, construction, maintenance, and disposal. For example, reinforced concrete is a material with ext...
So, in this context, the first metric you might think of is carbon. And although we do need to calculate the carbon emissions of our application at some level, it’s particularly hard to measure. There’s no HTTP response header that returns the carbon cost of ...
Sanchez Choliz and Duate (2004) adopted a single-regional model to estimate the emissions associated with international trade in Spain. Su et al. (2010) used the sector aggregation effect to estimate embodied carbon emissions in China. Lin and Sun (2010) analyzed embodied carbon emissions in ...
