Hi All,
I am looking for a green building certification that considers operational carbon emissions, embodied carbon footprint and end-of-life footprint. I haven't found one single certification program that addresses all factors as fully as we should at this critical time for the planet. Among the myriad certifications available to the industry, is there one that exists?
We are working to meet the 2030 Commitment, utilizing LCA and energy modeling tools.
The closest program we have found so far is ILFI Living Building Challenge's Zero Carbon. Certification programs I have reviewed so far:
DOE Zero Energy Ready Home
EPA Renewable Energy Ready Home
LEED v4 Single Family
Passive House US
Living Building Challenge Zero Carbon
Living Building Challenge Zero Energy
Green Globes
Built Green (WA)
Earth Advantage
Thanks for your feedback.
