This is a minor update to expand C.Scale's support for interior assemblies and make a fundamental update to the way that reuse is handled at the assembly- and material-level.
Update Reuse Options
At the category-level, C.Scale supports the declaration of reuse as a percentage of total assemblies. This is a useful abstraction, but is not extensible to the assembly- or material-level. At these finer levels of resolution, there are three options for
reuse
- new_constructioninclude A1-A5 emissions. Accounting for these new materials include both upstream and jobsite emissions.
- salvagedincludes only A4-A5 emissions. Since these materials are salvaged, there are no upstream emissions.
- reusedincludes no emission from A4-A5. There are no A stage emissions for products which are reused in place.
Additional Interiors Assemblies
This update includes data for "shared" interior walls. These walls are cut at their centerline so one one half is counted in the analysis. This allows takeoffs to happen on a per-room basis while avoiding double-counting of shared walls.
