It is to these that the EU directive applies. However, I am wondering about existing buildings. Is any work being done to account for or, at least, capture the data relating to embodied carbon in existing buildings? Where a public sector body is looking for a new premises, one option might be to build a new building. That building might be gold standard, but existing buildings will have embodied carbon. If we knew this, it would influence the decisions on the basis of which property should be procured. Is that happening?
