Greenhouse gas assessment
PAS 2080:2023 Carbon management in buildings and infrastructure, second edition, published by The British Standards Institution in March 2023, defines greenhouse gas (GHG) assessment as the: ‘…process of calculating the total amount of GHG emissions and removals due to the delivery, use, operation, maintenance, demolition and/or reuse of assets and/or networks. NOTE The principles of quantification and reporting GHG emissions in the built environment differ from Scopes 1, 2 and 3 defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, and adopted by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), typically used in the corporate sector (e.g. companies’ sector, organizations, institutions). Although there are commonalities in certain terminologies and principles, a whole life carbon approach is used for the purpose of carbon management and driving decarbonization in the built environment (buildings and infrastructure).’
