Policies aimed at reducing the embodied carbon of building and infrastructure projects and construction materials typically leverage life cycle assessment (LCA) as a methodology to measure the impacts of a product or project and compare them against a percentage reduction target or embodied carbon performance standard (i.e., global warming potential (GWP) limit).<\/p>\n<p>The effectiveness of policies in reducing embodied carbon relies on the health of the underlying LCA ecosystem \u2013 the standards, guidelines, data sources, tools, and actors\/organizations that constitute the interdependent building blocks of LCA \u2013 to create consistent, reliable estimates of embodied carbon to report and benchmark products and projects.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=&#8221;Flipsnack PDF&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.flipsnack.com?hash=RTk1OThCQ0M1QTgrN24wZzVsM3RrNQ==\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" seamless=\"seamless\" scrolling=\"no\" frameBorder=\"0\" allowFullScreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-read; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Intro &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;c9f56dfb-c6fa-45d9-ba75-6376e8184f68&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Existing standards, data, and tools have enabled the growing action and knowledge on embodied carbon we see today, but the shift from voluntary best practice to incentives and regulations has increased the need for access, consistency, and transparency. For effective policy, federal and state government agencies, policymakers, and national\/international NGOs need to take on leadership to expand these efforts, create more standardization and coordination across siloed sectors, and ensure equitable representation and participation in standards development and programs.<\/p>\n<p>An \u201cideal\u201d LCA ecosystem optimized for policy would be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Open and transparent<\/strong> through shifting the balance from proprietary data and models to open, high-quality data in public repositories and investing in open data infrastructure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accessible<\/strong> through expanded access to training, streamlined processes and tools for reporting, and financial support for those who really need it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More comparable and reliable<\/strong>.
