ASHRAE and International Code Council (ICC) has laid out their proposed standard designed for stakeholders across the building industry, governments, and the finance and investment sectors. The standard provides a methodology for quantifying both embodied and operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with buildings and their sites, while also establishing minimum documentation requirements for life cycle GHG emissions.
Join us on April 30, for an informative online session where Beth Tomlinson, Co-Vice Chair of ASHRAE/ICC Standard 240P will explore the proposed standard and its impact on the building industry. Learn how this standard will guide GHG emissions management, with a special focus on mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, and how it can drive more sustainable practices within building design and operations.
Key Takeaways:
- Explain the pivotal role of ASHRAE’s new standards in promoting energy-efficiency and decarbonization in the built environment
- Explore the latest updates in ASHRAE standards, focusing on whole life carbon assessment and calculation of greenhouse gas emissions
- Explore the proposed standard’s structure of whole life greenhouse gas emissions accounting and reporting
