Embodied carbon data continues to be an optional field fields for DDx project data. This year, upon the release of the ECHO Project Schema, the AIA DDx has aligned its embodied carbon data fields to reflect the certain data points from the schema. The bulk import spreadsheet will be updated accordingly in December has been updated to reflect these additional fields for projects with embodied carbon data. Changes include:
LCA assessment year (noteNote: historically in the DDx, embodied carbon modeled date was optional)
Project phase at the time of assessment (optional)
Building Construction Type (optional)
Carbon modeling tool (with an tools expanded list building upon past year’s)
When listing which scopes were included in the analysis, there will be inclusion of additional scopes to check all that apply. This will include:
Shell -superstructureSuperstructure
Shell -exterior
Interiors-construction
Interiors-finishes
Services Exterior Enclosure
Interior Construction
Interiors Finishes
Sitework
Equipment
Furnishings
For each scope, there will be opportunity to break down the predicted embodied carbon (kgCO2e/m2). If not available, please provide the full predicted embodied carbon for the project.
More information will be coming in December 2024!Find more information on the Add Embodied Carbon Data page.
