Refine Data

Customize Scenario Parameters

This modal allows a user to customize the data used to calculate the current scenario. This can be useful when a project team has specific information about material quantities or carbon intensities, or to set goals in regard to either. Entering data in this panel will only affect the current scenario. No other scenarios will be affected.

These quantities are entered on an area basis in units of kgCO2e/sf values. The area baseline for each quantity is as follows:

Scope	Area Baseline	Inputs Affecting Area Baseline
Structure	Total Floor Area	Floor area
Envelope | Cladding	Opaque Envelope Area	WWR, floor-to-floor height, perimeter, and floor area.
Envelope | Glazing	Transparent Envelope Area	WWR, floor-to-floor height, perimeter, and floor area.
Envelope | Roofing	Roof Area	Floor area per above ground floor
Tenant Fit Out	Tenant Fit Out Area	Floor area, % floor area with tenant fit out
MEP	Total Floor Area	Floor area
Hardscape	Hardscape Area	Scenario hardscape area
A4-A5: Construction	Total Floor Area	Floor area

The calculations for determining the area takeoffs used in each calculation is detailed in the embodied carbon methodology. A summary of input fields used in each is outlined above. Entering in data in any field (even if a zero is entered) will override the corresponding calculation in EPIC. If a field is left blank, EPIC will calculate the field.

Note that while a user can override EPIC's calculation of A4-A5 emissions on a per-area basis, EPIC's default calculation of A4-A5 emissions is as a proportion of A1-A3 emission.
