Embodied carbon (tonne CO2e/yr) - Vehicle Level
Definition:
Refers to emissions that arise from producing, procuring and installing the materials and components that make up a structure. It may also include the lifetime emissions from maintenance, repair, replacement and ultimately demolition and disposal (ref: GRESB).
Additional Guidance:
This indicator captures embodied carbon from the life cycle stages of a building’s materials and construction processes. It typically covers:
• Upfront stages (A1–A5): Raw material supply, transport, manufacturing, and on-site construction and installation.
• Use stages (B1–B5): Maintenance, repair, replacement, and refurbishment.
• End-of-life stages (C1–C4): Deconstruction, waste processing, and disposal.
Embodied carbon should be calculated using recognised Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies and data sources, such as Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) or commercial databases.
See INREV (2024), Embodied Emissions Paper, for further guidance.
