About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

You are invited to attend the latest webinar from your hosts, Circular Ecology, for a straightforward and insightful overview of the appropriate use of generic embodied carbon data such as the ICE Database.

We will provide an overview of the applications of generic embodied carbon data, how it can support design decisions, and how it best interfaces with manufacturer specific data, covering:

  • Understanding what generic embodied carbon data represents
  • The best practice for using generic data
  • The importance of understanding variability
  • When should generic data or manufacturer specific data be applied?
  • What else should be considered when using generic data in whole life carbon assessments?

Whether you're interested in using the ICE Database specifically or generic carbon data in general, we will help you understand this type of data and landscape.
