MClareTo celebrate the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (#ClimateBill), I put together a #dataviz of the #EnvironmentalProductDeclarations currently available through #BuildingTransparency 's #EC3 database
It's got rudimentary search by zip code to allow for filtering of the nearest manufacturing plants for a variety of #buildingmaterials, both raw and processed (i.e. #concrete, #steel)

When you break out by company (794 unique company and material combinations across 536 companies represented), the tree gets *really* big. 😅

Now that I finally have some free time, I took a closer look at #embodiedcarbon stats and the history of the #EC3 tool based on its #concrete EPDs.

EC3 Tool
Concrete Environmental Product Declaration Historical Overview The following visualizations look at all available concrete environmental product declarations (EPDs) from Building Transparency's EC3 Tool. Over 80,000 EPDs on concrete alone have been captured by EC3 in the past four years (though about half of them are currently "active" through the material search in the dashboard). Nearly 90% of the concrete EPDs catalogued come from just four manufacturers: Central Concrete, Eastern Concrete, National Read
These firms have now signed onto @[email protected] #SE2050, so I'm glad something got through to them (and that the landscape has shifted that much in 4 years) 😅
