Life Cycle Assessment

Tool*

Inputs -Emission factors for key materials (Include raw materials, fabrication, transport, installation) - Location specific anywhere in Australia

CO2 Intensity of Buildings &

Infrastructure

*Customised for the Australian construction market by Davis Langdon

Inputs -Cost estimate data: Obtain quantities, volumes and areas of materials -Apply carbon conversion factors -Assess associated material impact (eg: aluminium window frames, steel stud framing)

Our purposed built tools measure the carbon impact throughout the

entire lifecycle of construction materials
