Reclaimed and Reused: Recommended LCA Modeling Guidance to Support EPDs for Reused Construction Materials

Material reuse is one strategy for reducing the embodied carbon of construction. While the preparation of previously used materials for reuse has an environmental impact, it avoids many of the resource extraction and manufacturing impacts of building with newly...

Material Spotlights: Existing and Emerging Strategies to Decarbonize Construction Materials

This resource provides project teams with an overview of emerging processes and materials that offer viable alternatives to conventional construction products, with a focus on solutions that are commercially available but currently under-adopted. 15 spotlights provide...
International Embodied Carbon Data Availability:  A Review of Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Availability in Europe, China, and Australia

International Embodied Carbon Data Availability: A Review of Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Availability in Europe, China, and Australia

CLF completed a landscape analysis of product-level embodied carbon data availability in regions outside North America with the goals of: (i) understanding how LCA/EPD data availability varies globally; (ii) informing where targeted initiatives are needed to increase...
