The second-most impactful policy type based on the findings from the prototype calculators was incentivizing adaptive reuse, followed by low-carbon concrete and housing size policies.\u00a0 These findings highlight the need for better research and benchmarks on the whole buildings of different building typologies to support more robust estimates of total carbon savings potentials associated with each, but also to enable cities to pass these policies.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The initial results from this proof-of-concept study and feedback from cities indicate that these calculators could be a powerful resource for enabling policymakers to use the carbon savings potential estimates to develop and advocate for the policy solutions that are right for their cities and achieve their cities\u2019 goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Authors&#8221; module_class=&#8221;list-space&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Authors<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The research team from the Carbon Leadership Forum at the University of Washington College of Built Environments:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brad Benke, Researcher, Carbon Leadership Forum<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meghan Lewis, Senior Researcher, Carbon Leadership Forum<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stephanie Carlisle, Senior Researcher, Carbon Leadership Forum<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Monica Huang, Researcher, Carbon Leadership Forum<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kate Simonen, Executive Director, Carbon Leadership Forum<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Author contributions:<\/strong> M.L., S.C., and K.S. led conceptualization; B.B., M.L., and S.C. conducted research and analysis; B.B. created the calculators; B.B., M.L., S.C., M.H., and K.S. performed review and editing; B.B. created the graphics; B.B. and M.L. wrote the paper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Contributors&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Contributors<\/h3>\n<p><strong>This project would not have been possible without the contributions of the C40 Clean Construction Team:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cecile Faraud, Programme Manager, Clean Construction<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Andre Aasrud, Senior Advisor, Clean Construction<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tessa Devreese, Programme Officer, Clean Construction<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Acknowledgments&#8221; module_class=&#8221;list-space&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Acknowledgments<\/h3>\n<p><strong>This study was commissioned by and co-developed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c40.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">C40<\/a>, thanks to the support of the City of Oslo and Ingka Retail (Ingka Group).
