1. Shelter Methodology for the Assessment of Carbon (SMAC)To find out more about SMAC: https://sheltercluster.org/environment-community-practice/shelter-methodology-assessment-carbon-smacEnvironmental sustainability indicators in Sphere are mostly well-covered, but the “Percentage of shelter constructions using low carbon emission construction materials and methods” is harder to address.
2. SMAC – A “good enough” tool for carbon calculation of a shelter lifecycleSMAC has been developed by BRE Trust, the Environment Community of Practice, and WWF-US to support the comparison of shelter solutions in terms of their CO2 equivalent emissions. It is intended as a decision-support tool to help identify the most carbon-efficient shelter option. It is not: A complete summary of environmental impacts a shelter option may or may not have.An accurate assessment of the CO2eq impact for the specific materials used in all parts of the world.A tool designed for use in more complex building structures.It is:A tool for quick comparison of generic options for temporary or transitional shelter options.A provider of a "good enough" comparative metric across sheltering options that can inform decision-making and environmental impact monitoring and reporting.What do you need to know?Component materials of the shelterPackaging used in transportTransport methods and distancesBy entering that data, you can compare the KGCO2eq impact of shelters onComponent materialsPackagingTransportationEnd of lifeG.W.Foden@lboro.ac.uk ; havedisastercallkelly@gmail.com
