Wide variation in energy use and other characteristics
Global Efforts toward “Common Metrics”ASHRAE and other Technical Groups have role
“…While all stages of a building’s life-cycle (including construction and demolition) produce carbon emissions, the building’s operational phase accounts for 80-90% of emissions resulting from energy use mainly for heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting and appliances. Therefore, this is the stage of the building’s life-cycle that is the focus of the Common Carbon Metric.”
