    Does any one know of a software tool to calculate a "GWP Value" or "EE+C02 Value" for construction elements ?
    That works in a similar manner to Buildesks U Value + Condensation Risk tool ?

    And ....

    I know we have the Bath Ice database for EE+C02
    http://www.bath.ac.uk/mech-eng/sert/embodied/

    Is there an authoritative GWP database for construction materials ? ( As opposed to chemical elements )

    When the GBB Part 2 was written, there was no such database: I had to write a database tool myself using Bath ICE

    No, haven't looked: The problem I found with many of the databases was that they calculated just emissions without accounting for lifespan: That may have changed (it was 2 years ago that we did the original database)
