About Embodied Carbon Definitions

An Embodied Carbon Definition is a value that accounts for the carbon emitted when the building material or product is produced.

Embodied carbon:

Embodied carbon is a metric that quantifies the amount of carbon emissions produced during the manufacturing process of a building material or product. This value is crucial as it allows us to understand the environmental impact of these materials or products right from their inception. These embodied carbon definitions can apply to a specific product from a manufacturer, a certain type of product, a generic material, or an amalgamation of multiple products. These costs are incorporated in the energy analytical model as an embodied carbon definition.

View and edit the embodied carbon definitions present in your model within the construction summary section of the Embodied Carbon Detail Dashboard. For additional information see Embodied Carbon Details.
