| Abstract | Construction represents a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada and around the world. As more governments and organizations across Canada are setting requirements and reduction targets on the embodied carbon of construction of their projects or in their jurisdictions, there is a need to provide detailed guidance to enable greater consistency in the methodologies, boundaries and assumptions used in whole building life cycle assessments (wbLCAs) for Part 3 buildings intended to demonstrate compliance with these requirements. |
