The report analyses the results of an A1-A3 embodied carbon analysis of 34 as-built homes in Nelson and Castlegar, BC. The report examines the relationship between operational GHG emissions and embodied GHG emissions, and finds that for all of the homes in the study the embodied GHG emissions will dominate the total emission profile for at least 20 years, and for as much as 120 years. Material categories are examined and ranked in order of their contribution to overall emissions. Recommendations are provided for reducing emissions in each material category.
