520			_aMandates a whole life approach to reducing carbon emissions within the built environment. It sets out specific mandatory principles and supporting guidance for the interpretation and implementation of EN 15978 methodology. Specific objectives of this professional statement include providing a consistent whole life carbon assessment implementation plan and reporting structure for built projects, and promoting the reliability of whole life carbon assessments by acting as a solid reference for the industry. This 2nd edition aligns with the International Cost Management Standards (ICMS) 3rd Edition and the Built Environment Carbon Database (BECD) to provide a consistent output of cost and carbon reporting and benchmarking, for both new builds and existing assets.
520			_aThe methodology in this standard is globally applicable, however numerical assumptions provided are based on UK locations and standard practices due to the availability and accessibility of data. Readers will therefore find that the methodology is more comprehensive and detailed for UK practitioners,
