Qflow calculates the carbon associated with:
- A1-A3 upfront carbon - Materials/products going into your construction project
- A5 upfront carbon - Waste recovery for items going out of your construction project
- A4 upfront carbon - Transport emissions associated with the movement of materials from the dispatch address to your construction project
- A5 upfront carbon - Transport emissions associated with the removal of waste to waste transfer or
destination facilities - A5 upfront carbon - Fuel being delivered to site
We have outlined the areas of the whole life carbon assessment (as defined in BS EN 15978:2011 and as used within the RICS Professional Statement for the UK) that we believe each of these components refers to, in italics above. This should be used in conjunction with work from your sustainability or carbon specialist, who is responsible for collating data for the total carbon footprint across your organisation.
