This is a fascinating conversation! Thank you for sharing!
Milena, I tried to open the slide deck you shared, but it says access is denied. I wonder if others on the forum were able to open it.
Following up on this conversation, the key difference between Scope 3 reporting and WBLCA is that in Scope 3 reporting, the emissions are reported in the year they are emitted. However, when companies project their emissions for setting decarbonization targets, future emissions should be accounted for.
I assume A4-A5 (transportation to site and construction) can also be included in Category 2 (Capital Goods) in addition to A1-A3. Emissions from retrofit and replacement (B4-B5) can also be included in Category 2 in the year they are emitted. Module C (EOL) can be included in Category 13 (End-of-life treatment of sold products) for developers who sell their buildings and in Category 5 (Waste generated in operations) for property owners and managers, in the fiscal year the building is demolished/deconstructed. I am curious to hear your thoughts on this categorization of WBLCA emissions.
Thank you.
