Hello everyone,

I’m exploring the Whole-Building Life-Cycle Assessment (WBLCA) methodologies defined by the LEED and Level(s) frameworks, and I’m curious about understanding the specific differences in the scope and calculation method for the following environmental impact indicators:

a) Depletion of Nonrenewable Energy (MJ) according to ISO 14040 & ISO 14044 (CML 2002, November 2012), as required by LEED;

b) Abiotic Depletion Potential (ADP – fossil) for Fossil Resources (MJ) according to EN 15804 & EN 15978, as required by Level(s).

Can anyone provide some clarity on this?

Thanks in advance for your insights.
