Embodied carbon is distinct from operational carbon — the carbon that comes from energy, heat, lighting, etc. Thanks to advances in reducing operational carbon,recent data from the World Green Building Councilindicates that embodied carbon is becoming a larger portion of a building's overall carbon...
Embodied carbon is the measurable greenhouse gas emissions of an infrastructure's entire construction, maintenance and demolition processes. Unlike operational carbon, which measures a structure's emissions based on energy use during its occupancy, embodied carbon provides that structure's carbon footprint...
In response, the built environment needs to develop sustainable, decarbonised, low energy systems and approaches that are socially acceptable a... J Monahan - 《University of East Anglia》 被引量: 4发表: 2013年 Circular Design and Embodied Carbon in Living Buildings: The Missing Potential ...
Embodied carbon refers to the sum impact of all greenhouse gas emissions attributed to a material during its life cycle.
What are the policy options to reflect the embodied carbon in the price of manufactured products and what are the implications for consumption and production?A.-C. Leydier
When talking about carbon emissions, the Commitment considers both operational and embodied carbon. This means that the Commitment applies both to management of existing buildings and construction of new ones. Operational carbon refers to all emissions produced when a building is in use. This includes...
embodied carbon, resource management and sustainable operations, whilst also heavily reflective of societal considerations and recognising investment in innovative solutions. While the headline ratings of ‘EXCELLENT’ and ‘OUTSTANDING’ seem simplistic, BREEAM is a complex and nuanced accreditation: projects...
Embodied carbon is a large yet often hidden source of emissions. But what’s the meaning of C02e, equivalency, and emissions—and why do they matter? We’re here to demystify embodied carbon jargon to help you get started withreducing embodied carbon emissionsat your organization. ...

Sustainable building design reduces operational and embodied carbon throughout a building’s lifespan. This is crucial as climate scientists warn that rising greenhouse gas levels are pushing us towards unprecedented global temperature increases. This poses a significant risk to human life. The aim is...
