We often get the question, “How should we report building LCA results?”. This can be tough to answer because, without clear guidelines, building LCA modeling and reporting can be confusing,  time-consuming,  and span a wide range of needs and use cases. But the reporting itself can, and should be, clear and consistent. That’s why I’m happy to be sharing the new CLF Generic Reporting Template for Building LCA Results. 

Within this template, we’ve condensed the latest standards and best practices into a simple yet flexible reporting framework to serve a wide range of purposes. We hope it helps to create more consistency and alignment around building LCA reporting and saves time for both LCA modelers and reporting program administrators alike. We plan to continually update and maintain this template over time to advance LCA modeling and reporting across the industry. I hope you find it useful. 
CLF Generic Reporting Template for Building LCA Results

This is a generic LCA reporting template to support current and future LCA reporting programs and efforts. This template was developed as a flexible yet consistent framework to suit a wide range of LCA reporting needs. It is an Excel spreadsheet with tabs for entering project information, LCA modeling information, and LCA results. Within it, administrators of reporting programs can set the scope of reporting requirements suitable for their program and distribute the template to their users for the collection of building LCA results. Additionally, it can serve as a starting point for individual practitioners and tool developers for data tracking and database development harmonization.

CLF Summer Series: Embodied Carbon Reductions Built Project Case Study Collection Webinars

This summer, CLF is excited to spotlight embodied carbon reductions in the built environment through a special series featuring our latest collection of real-world project case studies — and you're invited to join us!

We’re kicking things off with two live webinars featuring project teams from CLF’s Embodied Carbon Reductions Built Project Case Study Collection. Each session will highlight a different set of projects and teams, who will share how they approached embodied carbon reductions and what they learned along the way.

Check out the full case study collection!
