Introducing CLEAR: The Carbon Lifecycle Emissions Analysis Resource

The sustainability industry is evolving, and Proposed ASHRAE/ICC Standard 240P – Quantification of Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Buildings is setting a new standardized methodology for quantifying life cycle carbon emissions in buildings.

This proposed standard provides a consistent framework for evaluating both embodied and operational carbon, empowering professionals to make informed, data-driven decisions.

At BranchPattern, we developed CLEAR (Carbon Lifecycle Emissions Analysis Resource) to support teams in accurately estimating operational carbon (Module B6)—streamlining carbon accounting with precision and alignment to this groundbreaking methodology.

CLEAR is a powerful analytical tool that enables:

• Developers, Organizations & ESG Leaders: Strengthen carbon reporting frameworks and support regulatory compliance by tracking operational emissions with transparency.

• Sustainability Consultants and Building Performance Practitioners: Integrate operational carbon estimates into project Life Cycle Assessments and align with ASHRAE 240p’s methodology.

• Design Teams: Leverage reliable carbon emissions data to inform high-performance strategies and systems selection.
