Longevity
The longer a component can be used, the less frequently it will have to be replaced in the future, which in turn leads to fewer (future) embodied emissions. However, the embodied emissions caused during construction occur in the here and now and cannot be distributed over the lifetime. The conversion to one year (kg CO2/m2EBF/a) allows a comparison with operating emissions, but does not correspond to physical reality: The embodied CO2 is already in the atmosphere and is already climate-effective.
