Team,
As you all probably saw, Boston is discussing using both CEI (carbon emission intensity) and EUI as basic scope of work. Maybe the more surprising thing is China announced a new building code next year to include carbon emission analysis as a basic scope of work for all buildings. New buildings in 2022, among other things, require 40% CARBON reduction compares to baseline 2016. See further below.
If that is the basic scope of service, should we move beyond energy models to both energy and carbon, maybe whole life carbon modeling as basic scope of service?
Best,
Luke

"
Baseline for new buildings is 2016, 30% reduction for residential 20% for public buildings (office, school, etc.)
Carbon emission is 40% reduction or more than 2016 baseline which is 7 kgCo2/M2 area
