Hi folks,
Any of you who have completed WBLCA for projects - we are working on a new initiative with the City of Cambridge (building on our prior work NZ Climate Action Plan) but this time focused exclusively on embodied carbon.
We have not yet begun the work - but they have an opportunity to make a move on this on Tuesday and wanted to get info on the time it takes to conduct WBLCA.
Would you be able to share hours (if not fee)? and tool you prefer to use...
If you can share a "high-low" estimate of hours, given description below, please send directly to me at bb@sustainable-performance.org - THANK YOU
(if you can share range of cost too, that will help them and I will not attribute any info - we will just say, "here are the ranges we've seen" and may say if its East coast or West if there's a huge difference for any reason)
Their quote:
"we’re looking for time and cost estimates for what it would take to conduct a whole-building LCA, with consideration toward the estimated lifecycle emissions for wood, concrete, steel, aluminum... I think that this estimate should generally be applied to larger projects, so over 50,000 sqft."
