Create a new scenario

Scenarios are user-defined sets of carbon reduction measures that can be analyzed and compared with one another.

Click the + New Scenario button to create a new scenario where carbon reduction measures can be applied. The newly created scenario will include all of the carbon reduction measures that are applied to the baseline. Additionally, existing scenarios can be duplicated to create new scenarios.

Name the new scenario and click Create.

With the newly created scenario selected in the left-hand panel, use the right-hand panel to begin applying carbon reduction measures, which are generally divided into the following categories:

. These measures deal with the savings from reuse of existing building assemblies.

. These measures pertain to the impact the form of the building has on the amount of materials used in the structure and enclosure.

. These measures pertain to reducing the use of energy in the building, and selecting clean sources of energy.

. These measures pertain to selecting low carbon alternatives for the substructure and superstructure, including both lateral and gravity systems.

. These measures pertain to selecting low carbon alternatives for the opaque enclosure, transparent enclosure, and roofing, and their replacement periods.

. These measures pertain to selecting low carbon alternatives for the interior construction and fit-out, and their replacement periods.

. These measures pertain to selecting low carbon alternatives for the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) services and PV Array, and their replacement periods.

. These measures pertain to selecting low carbon alternatives for the refrigerants used in building services (e.g., HVAC+R).

. These measures pertain to the hardscape and landscape surrounding the building, and assess their respective potential to add or sequester carbon.

. These measures pertain to the construction-related (A5) emissions.
