How do we measure Embodied Carbon?
Embodied carbon can be split in four primary stages: Product Stage, Construction Stage, Use Stage, and End-of-Life Stage. Every material has an embodied carbon conversion factor (as found in carbon life cycle inventory datasets), these are multiplied by the material’s quantity to give respective values of embodied carbon.
Environmental product declarations (EPDs) provide a more accurate estimation of the embodied carbon, as provided by the manufacturer.
What tools do we use?
We are experienced in many of the industry-leading calculation tools such as OneClickLCA, eToolLCD, the IStructE Structural Carbon Tool and EC3.
With the use of our extensive environmental product declaration (EPD) database, we can determine how your project impacts the environment.
