Has anyone completed an LCA for an engineering structures lab, particularly one that has a strong wall and strong floor?

Hi Stephanie, We do have an LCA for an academic building that has a high bay space with a strong wall and floor. Our analysis isn't 100% finalized, but is mostly complete. We do see that those elements have large carbon footprints and our other reduction measures are not as impactful as we had initially hoped. The strong wall and floor account for 19% of our total kgCO2/sf. Happy to chat further.
