The report provides over 50 ready to use embodied carbon-reduction policies and best practices grouped into one of the following five categories.
- Create a carbon policy that sets out consistent requirements for all projects to follow.
- Set targets and transparency requirements for projects to meet across all their phases.
- Prioritize circularity – that is, less new building and more reuse and refurbishment.
- Design optimization to use less material and to choose materials with a low carbon footprint.
- Low-carbon procurement to ensure acquisition of materials with a low carbon footprint.
