The CRREM tool allows investors and property owners to assess the exposure of their assets to stranding risks based on energy and emission data and the analysis of regulatory requirements.
The Early Phase Integrated Carbon (EPIC) assessment is a whole life carbon tool built by EHDD to support climate-positive design decisions in early project phases when data is scarce but the potential for emissions reduction is high. To overcome the scarcity of data, EPIC uses a model that combines regionally-specific background data, forward-looking projections, peer-reviewed findings, and common sense assumptions to assess the relative impact of a variety of carbon reduction measures on a project’s embodied, operational, and landscape carbon footprints.
The Inventory of Carbon and Energy (also known as the ICE database) is an embodied carbon database for building materials which is available for free (registration required). The ICE database originally contained embodied energy and embodied carbon factors. However, since 2019 embodied energy factors are no longer included. The data in the wider literature, which the ICE database relies upon, generally no longer reports the embodied energy of construction products. Instead, embodied carbon has become the main metric. Carbon emissions give a better indicator of the contribution of that energy to global warming and climate change.
