Abstract

This presentation outlines the challenges of documenting the embodied carbon of residential building services systems, the strengths, weaknesses, and pitfalls. It finds that a possible illusion of precision is underpinned by some very pragmatic decisions in calculating fundamental data and identifies major and minor carbon contributors. It also proposes reporting protocols that will make the information useful to designers who will ultimately be the most influential users of the information.
