- Challenging to set meaningful metrics due to transitioning sectors, operating models, and growth, making baseline alignment difficult.
- Current engineering standards limit the short-term ability to include more recycled content in heat pumps.
- Need to conduct a carbon study of products to reduce their carbon impact.
- Significant changes to buildings and facilities needed before baselining carbon performance.
