Absolutely! We’ve had similar conversations where friends/clients expand their GHG Protocol reporting scope to include capital assets and are blown away by the impact. Harmonizing the methodologies to get wbLCA into scoped reporting seems complicated but, in my mind, very much worth it for the window it gives into what carbon reductions can look like.
In the peer-reviewed literature, hybrid EEIO/LCA approaches have been common for a while. Will be interesting to see how they come into practice in AEC.
