How Carbon Metric Standard Could Facilitate Innovation for Reduction of GHG Emission from Buildings?
The authors have collaborated to develop the new international standard on carbon metric(CM)of a building during the use stage(ISO 16745-2015).Carbon metric(CM)is a partial carbon footprint.It implies the sum of annual greenhouse gas emissions and removals,based on the real energy consumption and expressed as CO2 equivalents.CM is relevant for snapshot measurement in the operational stage of building.It does not require professional knowledge about methods such as overall environmental performance assessment and life cycle assessment(LCA).Carbon metric is usable also in those countries where experts services are limited.The paper presents how the standard sets out a globally applicable common method of the calculating,reporting and verification of CM,including an explanation of the different system boundaries and preconditions.It focuses on how the standard simplifies and clarifies the method to make it globally applicable.The paper discusses on how the standard could facilitate innovation for reduction of GHG emission from buildings.It is applicable in actions and policies for reduction of greenhouse gas(GHG)emission that includes the benchmarking for property management strategy,energy management service contract,post-occupancy evaluation,and education.The standard also provides the basis for cap and trade program.It also enables monetizing for international carbon trading(CDM in building related sectors)
