Key Information for Whole Life Carbon Assessment

Whole life Carbon Assessment considers the carbon related emissions from the building over its entire life - this means that three phases of a building's life have been scoped:
 
Initial Impacts
These are the emissions that occur before the building is put into operation and include the carbon embodied in the construction materials, as well as, the carbon emitted during the construction process.
 
Operational Impacts
These are the emissions that occur once the building is complete and operating and is essentially made up of operating emissions (day-to-day emissions from operating heating, ventilation, lighting and ancillary equipment) and maintenance emissions (embodied carbon of materials that need to be replaced during a building’s operating life)
 
End-of-life Impacts
These are the carbon emissions that occur at the end of a buildings useful life and are made up of deconstruction site related emissions and the emissions that result from construction materials being disposed into landfill.
