Sustainability and sustainable development - What is sustainability and what is sustainable development?
Can I use the ICE database to sectors outside of construction?
A – Yes. The range of materials consumed within a building is vast. Hence many of the materials in the ICE database are relevant to a diverse range of sectors. An exception would be for electrical items. These specialist items are likely to have a large number of intricate components that are not covered by the ICE database. Electronic goods also tend to have high additional manufacturing energy (a brief analysis suggests that the embodied energy and carbon of electrical items is wide ranging and comparatively high). If electrical items are of interest Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are becoming a valuable resource. EPDs are often available for download on manufacturers’ websites.
