The Irish carbon assessment tool is based on the published WLC calculator. The draft embodied carbon scheme is expected to be published by Q2 2025. For more information, we recommend viewing the government climate action plan. Action plan 198 describes the needed steps to 'Develop an embodied carbon building rating calculation methodology'.
The Irish embodied carbon rating calculation methodology will be published in 2025.
This guidance supports the current version of the Irish Carbon Assessment tool, designed to meet the assessment criteria described in the WLC calculator.
The assessment scope is aligned with the EU Level(s) framework and the EN15978 standard. It utilizes generic carbon data (IGBC) and encourages the use of product-specific EPDs.
The tool allows reporting on Whole Life Embodied Carbon (A-d), the Irish system specifies considering Upfront Carbon (A1-A5) and Whole Life Carbon A1-5, B1-5, and C1-4). Carbon sequestration is considered and reporting Module D (benefits and loads beyond the building's life cycle) is recommended.
More information coming soon!
