Public comments sought on measuring lifecycle of greenhouse gas emissions of buildings

ASHRAE and the International Code Council seek comments on their jointly developed document, Proposed ASHRAE/ICC Standard 240P—Quantification of Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions of Buildings.

Standard 240P will provide a methodology to quantify embodied and operational GHG emissions associated with buildings and their sites. It will include requirements for documentation of lifecycle GHG emissions.

The document is intended to support building industry stakeholders, governments, and the finance and investment community in implementing a common platform for measuring, reporting, and acting upon GHG emissions of buildings.

Comments will be accepted through March 18.
