The Building System Carbon Framework

A common carbon framework across sectors is becoming increasingly important as policymakers struggle to set more ambitious carbon reduction goals.  The Building System Carbon Framework bridges embodied and operational carbon and is neutral on materials and solutions.  It enables users to identify the best emissions-reduction strategies along the value chain using a common metric and a full life-cycle approach.  The framework is targeted at companies involved in manufacturing, designing, constructing, investing, owning, operating, occupying, renovating, and demolishing buildings.  It helps to align actions across the value chain for delivering a net-zero built environment and identifying where urgent action is needed.
