Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether the Scottish equivalent to the Passivhaus standard will take into account embodied carbon emissions.
Answer
As outlined in the answer to question S6W-25522 on 11 March 2024 work is ongoing to consider how embodied/whole life carbon emission reporting might be addressed through building regulations or by other means. This work is outside the scope of our current energy standards review and delivery of a Scottish equivalent to the Passivhaus standard.
