Incorporating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to achieve LEED, GreenMark, Beam Plus certifications

Construction projects account for 39% of global CO2 emissions. Over the years due to the rapid decarbonization of the energy sector, embodied carbon is becoming recognized as a dominant climate impact driver. In response, governments, green building certifications, and developers are increasingly required to track, quantify, and optimize carbon and sustainability in building projects to reduce the environmental impact.

For this purpose, building life cycle assessment (LCA), a science-based methodology for quantifying the lifetime environmental impacts of a building, is used to measure and reduce the embodied, operational, and whole-life carbon of buildings.

For many constructional professionals such as consultants, engineers, architects etc. incorporating LCA to achieve green building certifications credits for building or infrastructure projects, whether for LEED, Green Mark or Beam Plus or others, is required. Not only that, achieving the credits also requires results to be tailored to the relevant scheme, including life-cycle stages, impact indicators, benchmarking, and more.

This one-hour concise webinar will:

• Help you understand the importance of LCA and embodied carbon in building and infrastructure construction projects.
• How you can achieve green building certifications for LEED, Green Mark, Beam Plus etc.
• How to incorporate life cycle assessment thinking into existing workflow by leveraging One Click LCA.
