	This guide outlines what embodied carbon is and why is it important, detailing the regulatory context along with relevant models and standards. It explains approaches to calculating embodied carbon including what information you need and where to get it and highlights the importance of engaging the supply chain, including the role of clients and the use of clauses, to propel requirements down the value chain. It explores how to use the outputs including benchmarking, target setting and practical strategies for reducing embodied carbon, as well as looking at the role of emerging technologies - such as advanced materials and construction methodologies, and artificial intelligence - and provides case studies from the UK and internationally.
