Panu Pasanen, Sara Tikka, Lorélia Le Gouvello, Kostas Koukoulopoulos, Vasilis Kalfountzos, Libby Bounds. "Decarbonizing Construction – Guidance for Investors and Developers to Reduce Embodied Carbon". WBCSD. Accessed 2024. https://globalabc.org/...
A large part of the construction sector’s emissions come from building products and materials – embodied carbon. Embodied carbon has become the focus of regulatory bodies, making it a risk factor for developers and investors to price into construction projects. This report is for developers and investors, who drive transformation at the early stages of building projects, to guide them on reducing embodied carbon and future-proofing new construction projects. It suggests over 50 embodied carbon-reduction policies and best practices that developers and investors can adopt for their projects and guidance on using them. The proposed measures and requirements are flexible and easily combined with different green building certifications or sustainability reporting systems.
