Improving the accuracy of embodied carbon modelling

Carbon calculations rely on accurate data and modelling of the embodied carbon in proposed schemes. Significant decisions about the direction of the project including weighing up the relative value of refurbishment vs. demolition and rebuild are based on these results. How can we develop consistent carbon modelling and establish a consensus on the approach to be used? How do these figures need to be updated as methods evolve?
