Embodied Carbon

Embodied carbon is the total greenhouse gas emissions associated with extracting, manufacturing, transporting, installing, and eventually disposing of building materials. Everything except the energy used to operate the building once occupied. In a commercial fit-out, the highest embodied carbon contributors are typically steel, aluminium, and concrete.

As Indian corporates face increasing ESG disclosure requirements, embodied carbon is becoming a procurement consideration. Specifying lower-carbon alternatives. FSC-certified timber over MDF, recycled-content carpet tiles, reclaimed stone rather than quarried. Can meaningfully reduce a project's carbon footprint. Whole-life carbon assessments are now included in LEED v4.1, WELL v2, and IGBC Green Interiors credits.
