Embodied carbon in commercial furniture

EDITED LINK

Hello, below is a link to our newly uploaded research report, Embodied Carbon in Commercial Furniture. This new research report introduces a case study and some new baselines for measuring the carbon footprint of commercial furniture, to add to a growing body of work on this topic among our peers:
Embodied Carbon in Commercial Furniture

The embodied carbon in furniture calculator tool we used is also available to download as part of the “MSR Design Sustainability Tracker” on our Generative Impacts webpage, using the Available Resources Request Form.

We very much welcome feedback, and feel free to add to this thread with any research you are doing on this topic. Long story short, we found commerical furniture to have a significant impact, but in most WBLCAs it's a ghost number that doesn't even show up in the accounting. 

Yours in solidarity as we try to daylight all the ghost carbon,

Simona
