In response to user feedback from firms participating in the SE 2050 movement, insights from the SE 2050 Commitment Program 2023 Data Analysis and Findings Report, and the need to improve the quality of data collected to align with the ever-evolving landscape of embodied carbon reporting, SE 2050 is excited to launch a new database during the week of October 1st! Several key improvements, including:
- Improved user interface with expanded data visualization
- Project creation wizard allowing users to step through uploading their project data
- Interation of the SE 2050 ECOM tool
- Alignment with the ASCE Prestandard for Assessing the Embodied Carbon of Structural Systems for Buildings.
The updated database will require the input of structural material quantities (SMQs) for new projects entered into the database. Before the new database goes live, committed firms will be given the option to transfer their project data from the existing database to the new database. After the database is launched, firms will have a 45-day period to sign the data transfer permission form, which allows for the option to transfer projects from the beta database to the new database. Users will not have access to the beta database after the new database is launched. For additional information on the new database and answers to other frequently asked questions, read through the New SE 2050 Database Launch Announcement. SE 2050 would like to thank and acknowledge ClimateWorks Foundation for its support in developing the new database.
The SE 2050 Database is a central repository for firms participating in the SE 2050 Commitment Program to submit structural embodied carbon (global warming potential) data. The data submitted to the SE 2050 Database will be used to inform industry benchmarks and targets, ultimately working towards net zero embodied carbon by 2050.
