“WLC tool users are doing their best to pick the most appropriate generic impact factors, but differences in which factors and reference points are available in different tools, as well as varying training and experience, are likely feeding into this inconsistency we have seen historically for similar house types. Within the new homes sphere, we need to agree to use the same set of defaults and assumptions where product-specific EPDs are not available. The conventions provide a ‘wrapper’ in terms of input assumptions and output scope to ensure that new homes WLC assessments can be compared like-with-like.” - Adam Graveley, Future Homes Hub
Webinar: One Click LCA and the Hub’s Whole Life Carbon Conventions for New Homes
Date / time:
Wednesday 26th February at 12:00pm
What will I learn about?
One Click LCA, a world-leading lifecycle assessment software for the construction and manufacturing industries, is supporting UK homebuilders by making it easier for One Click LCA users to report to the Whole Life Carbon (WLC) Conventions for New Homes.
The Conventions aim to solve the problem of inconsistent results from whole life carbon assessments, and One Click LCA are one of the first commercial tool providers to have integrated the Future Homes Hub’s default materials and carbon data within their platform.
As an attendee, you will learn more about the Conventions, see a live demonstration of how to use One Click LCA to easily report embodied and whole life carbon consistently across the sector and have the opportunity to put questions to One Click LCA experts.
Who is this session for?
