The International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL) recently opened an important data request call for Lab Building Embodied Carbon Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) information. This request is similar to the Carbon Leadership Forum’s V2 call for embodied carbon data but with some more specific lab related data fields. This data will be used to start the creation of a lab building embodied carbon benchmarking database within the I2SL Lab Benchmarking Tool. Even more significantly, this data will drive the development of a first ever industry score for lab building embodied carbon.*
*If you or a colleague have any lab building embodied carbon data that you can submit, please reach out to Nathan Jeffay at Nathan.Jeffay@erg.com for more information. I2SL will continue to accept data on a rolling basis so please reach out if you may be able to provide data.
