  • In summary, the project has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 8,921,089.18 kg CO₂e.
  • A project-specific baseline was not generated, making it impossible to determine the exact reduction achieved. For reference, the Carbon Leadership Forum (CLF) gives an average embodied carbon range of approximately 340–380 kg CO₂e/m² GFA for schools in the US.
  • Based on the Tobin Montessori and Darby Vassall Upper Schools Complex’s floor area of 356,000 square feet, the embodied carbon of an average US school of this size would be approximately 11.9 million kg CO₂e. This suggests that Tobin’s embodied carbon is around 25 percent below the average school benchmark.
