AB  - Construction and renovation projects generate significant amounts of embodied carbon. However, studies often neglect emissions from the construction phase and focus on operational emissions of building in use. This study examines existing literature and prevalent certification systems, focusing on how they address site activities in relation to sustainability impacts. A comprehensive review of public domain data has been carried out. The current state of the most used certification systems and their approach on embodied carbon emissions from the construction phase has been determined. Interviews with an international panel of experts were held to gather insights. The study contributes to identifying requirements and analyzing incentives for achieving emission-free sites. Findings can serve as a roadmap for operating with less emissions for different construction supply chain actors and policymakers.
