6.2 Building life cycle assessment

Mixed use buildings (benchmark) – Embodied carbon reporting tool  - KBCN1729

Where the assessed building is mixed use, a comparative, floor-area-weighted benchmark is used to determine the number of credits awarded for criteria ‘06 Embodied carbon benchmark comparison’.   To calculate this, in the ‘Embodied carbon reporting tool’, in the ‘1. Project Input’ tab, enter: 

• the number of building types within the assessed building, and 

• the floor area (GIA) of each of the different building types 

This will enable the tool to calculate the floor area weighted benchmark on the ‘5. Benchmark’ tab
