Scope
GB/T 44716-2024 is the English-translated version of 建筑材料低碳评估方法.
GB/T 44716-2024 gives the Chinese method for assessing the carbon performance of building materials. Construction is where the largest share of Chinese industrial emissions ends up, and the embodied carbon of the materials is now being asked for by developers, by green building rating schemes and by export customers; but a figure quoted without a defined boundary and a defined allocation rule is not comparable with anyone else's. The standard sets the assessment boundary, cradle to gate with the stages defined, the functional unit for each material category, the data requirements and their quality, the calculation of the greenhouse gas emissions from the raw materials, the energy, the transport and the process, the treatment of recycled input and of by-products and the allocation rules that go with them, the treatment of carbonation and of biogenic carbon where relevant, the benchmarking and grading of the result, and the report and its verification. It takes effect on 1 April 2025.

Low carbon assessment method for building materials
1 Scope
GB/T 44716-2024 gives the Chinese method for assessing the carbon performance of building materials. Construction is where the largest share of Chinese industrial emissions ends up, and the embodied carbon of the materials is now being asked for by developers, by green building rating schemes and by export customers; but a figure quoted without a defined boundary and a defined allocation rule is not comparable with anyone else's. The standard sets the assessment boundary, cradle to gate with the stages defined, the functional unit for each material category, the data requirements and their quality, the calculation of the greenhouse gas emissions from the raw materials, the energy, the transport and the process, the treatment of recycled input and of by-products and the allocation rules that go with them, the treatment of carbonation and of biogenic carbon where relevant, the benchmarking and grading of the result, and the report and its verification. It takes effect on 1 April 2025.
This document specifies the assessment requirements, assessment methods and assessment reports for low-carbon assessment of building materials. This document is applicable to enterprises or third parties who assess carbon reduction in the production stage of building materials and the avoidance of carbon dioxide emissions in the use stage.
2 Normative references
The contents of the following documents constitute essential clauses of this document through normative references in this document. For referenced documents without a date, only the version corresponding to that date applies to this document; for referenced documents without a date, the latest version (including all amendments) applies to This document.

3 Terms and definitions
The terms and definitions defined in GB/T 32150, GB/T 33760 and the following apply to this document.
3.1 It is used to provide a reference for low-carbon assessment of building materials, and the carbon dioxide emissions or avoided carbon dioxide emissions of building materials under a given scenario. Carbon emissions.
Note. The given scenario in the production stage is the average level of carbon dioxide emissions in the industry, and the given scenario in the use stage is a uniform setting for the application building or system.
3.2 functional unit Used as a base unit to quantify the performance of a material system. [Source: GB/T 24040-2008, 3.20, modified]
4.1 Basic requirements
4.1.1 The building materials subject to low-carbon assessment should comply with relevant standards.
4.1.2 The scope of low-carbon assessment of building materials includes the production stage and the use stage, of which the production stage is mandatory and the use stage is optional. Recommendations on the scope of low-carbon assessment for building materials are given in Appendix A.
4.1.3 Low-carbon assessment should clarify the functional units of building materials.
4.1.4 The calculation method, statistical caliber, and assessment scope of low-carbon assessment of the same building material should be consistent, and the results should be comparable.
4.1.5 The data statistical period for the low-carbon assessment of building materials should be clearly stated in the assessment report.
4.2 Selection of baseline carbon dioxide emissions
4.2.1 The baseline carbon dioxide emissions (baseline value) should be selected according to Table
1.The method for selecting the baseline value for the same building material should be
