Competition Targets:

The project team has defined the following carbon reduction outcomes:

33% or more reduction – Good
50% – Excellent
100% – Outstanding

We have set the carbon reduction “target” in RapidLCA to a minimum carbon reduction of 33% but all applications are welcome as the competition wants to educate the market as well as award leading practice.
