Hi Henrique,
Thanks for this. I appreciate it. What I really trying to pin down is this:
If you have done a full life cycle analysis and know the kg or metric tons of embodied carbon in your building, how do you determine how many solar collectors you will need to offset both the operational and the embodied carbon?
This is especially complicated when we consider that if your utility is using coal to produce electricity, you will get MORE credit for the renewable energy you send back to the grid, compared to sending renewable energy to a grid that is supplied with a fair amount of renewable energy. I do not see anybody, including eTool, addressing how to make this calculation.
Unless it is part of the eTool analysis. Is that possible?
Thanks, Joe
