Whole Building LCA Benchmark Study

Comprehensive research study analyzing whole building life cycle assessment (LCA) data from a large dataset of building projects to establish benchmarks for embodied carbon across different building types, sizes, and structural systems. Provides baseline data for comparative analysis of building carbon performance and identifies key factors influencing embodied carbon intensity. Includes analysis of mass timber buildings compared to conventional structural systems, supporting development of carbon reduction strategies and targets. Serves as reference for design teams conducting LCA analysis and seeking to understand comparative carbon performance.
