VE Implication — Carbon
Category: Commercial
Assesses the carbon implication (embodied A1-A5 and operational B6) of a selected value-engineering opportunity. Because the platform has no carbon data model, this assessment is evidence- and assumption-led: it relies on document evidence and named emission factors, reports a range rather than a single figure, and flags the data needed for an evidenced result. Writes the finding back as a linked sustainability insight.
Input Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project | Project Picker | Yes | Project the opportunity belongs to. |
| Value-engineering opportunity | Workspace Item Picker | Yes | The opportunity (opportunity event) to assess for carbon implication. |
| Carbon scope | Multiple Selection | No | Which life-cycle modules to consider. Default: embodied (A1-A5). |
| Assumption overrides | Json | No | Optional JSON to pin emission factors, factor sources (e.g. ICE database vintage, EPD references)... |
