Hi everyone, actually I'm searching for the calculation process to find Embodied Carbon, Global Warming Potential of a New Brick material in terms of kg CO2e for performing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of residential buildings. From ICE database, I had got the Embodied Carbon value of normal brick. If I want to compute the same for new brick material, what is the process? Please guide me.
Please check out Energy plus software, where you can define your own material properties.
Is it possible to find Embodied Carbon and Global Warming Potential in Energy Plus?
