LMN is using this format to compare projects for our internal EC db and assess where we are and where we are going. It is customized to each project based on the boundary of the analysis and the level of detail we are at. There is a more detailed list of what is included in each category and scope level as well if anyone is interested. We are hoping this kind of thing could become an industry norm so we can legitimately compare projects and establish more relevant baselines with a simple-ish graphic. We also think that ‘empty’ categories can be backfilled with industry average data so our embodied carbon reductions are comparable to one another. For example, a 50% reduction in structure and envelope is very different than a 50% reduction across all categories.
