Newly constructed houses release Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions for Scopes 1, 2 and 3. The UK Government is introducing standards to reduce operational emissions. However, considerable emissions are generated from Scope 3, the cradle-to-gate Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) phase. This research investigates the significance of embodied carbon within struc...
