Calculation-Tools: Total Carbon Timeline
Scenario-Comparison: Total Carbon Emissions (cumul.)
EUI = Energy Use Intensity
impacting the operational carbon emissions of buildings
EC = Embodied Carbon
representing the upfront embodied carbon emissions associated with building retrofits and new construction

• existing buildings not retrofitted
• existing buildings not retrofitted
• no new buildings (no new residents)
• no PV (photo voltaic) panels assumed to be installed
• transportation assumed as car-centric: 15 000 miles/pers-yr dominated by ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles
• only 375 trees in streetscape
Total: 267 000 metric tons CO2-eq.
