Am I off on my Embodied Carbon benchmarking?

@chris1

Thank you so much for responding and including this data.

Even if we aren’t apples-to-apples on scope, seeing your study results average approx. 150-190 kgCO2e/m2 for low-rise residential (for structural, enclosure, and main finishes across A1-A3) is a fantastic reference point.

I resonate your position on “Carbon Use Intensity”. This is something we have used as well to pull it all together when discussing total carbon emissions with our clients. We have been using a graphic like this to show the relationships between embodied, operational, and renewable generation:

Dirty grid is dirty, lol.

Thanks again.
