Hello - I was reading the LBC Zero Carbon certification and I noticed it says: “The total embodied carbon of the project building may not exceed 500kg CO2e/m2” Does anyone know where the 500 is coming from? not judging, IO am just trying to understand the research behind that. Thanks,

Hello David -
Can you share with me where I can read the Canadian benchmark you are referring to?

Thanks,
