Entrant's Question:
We are now progressing with the Embodied Carbon estimation using the Epic Embodied Carbon spreadsheet.
Regarding the External Works Embodied Carbon calculation, should we consider the embodied carbon of soft landscaping in this competition? If so, what is the appropriate approach? If not, we will omit this aspect from our calculations.
Response:
- For this competition we are excluding the fence (which is often in place already on infill housing), and soft landscaping (plants, mulch, soil mounds, etc).
- We ARE including any hard landscaping (Decks, pergolas, paving, sheds, etc.)
