RESET^® Embodied for Projects and Products

The RESET Embodied Standard is a data-driven standard for evaluating and scoring the carbon, circularity, and health performance of building materials and products in projects. RESET Embodied Standard is currently in Active Pilot Phase and is an update to the RESET Standard. Learn more about the RESET Standard Development and Update process.

This RESET Initiative will focus on the ongoing review and improvement of the standard, piloting the RESET Embodied Standard for:

• Project Embodied Performance Scoring
• Product Embodied Performance Scoring

This RESET Initiative is reserved to actual practitioners and will require project owners or product manufacturers to bring a real project or real product for scoring.

1. Introduction

Applications for participation in the RESET Initiative on RESET Embodied for Projects and RESET Embodied for Products are now open.

To participate in the pilot, project owners and/or consultants must have one of the following:

• Completed a RESET Embodied Project pilot.
• Registered a RESET Embodied Project.
• Previous experience in product or project circularity assessment, with the intent to register a RESET Embodied Circularity project within the following 3 months.

Product manufacturers and suppliers must have either:

• Completed RESET scoring of at least one product.
• Previous experience in product circularity assessment, with the intent to register a RESET Embodied Product within the following month.
