California Air Resources Board: Voluntary Surveys about Embodied Carbon
CARB is seeking feedback from the public and industry partners throughout the development of a reporting framework to measure and then reduce embodied carbon in building materials. One form of this feedback is through voluntary data sharing, where industry can choose to share embodied carbon-related data with CARB to increase understanding of the current availability of embodied carbon data in the field.
The responses that CARB receives through this survey will be treated as Confidential Business Information.
