² Average of five building types modeled in BEAM, using total net carbon storage of all products included in the model. This value does not include emissions from non-carbon-storing products.
³ Replacing “business as usual” materials with biomass-based alternatives avoids some emissions, in addition to the net carbon storage achieved with those alternative materials.
