If I'm not mistaken, I think this lifetime cost analysis of embodied carbon is already done on most or all federal infrastructure projects. That aspect is already happening. I don't know how it plays into decisions, but I think these tests are relatively simple compared to the whole process of building a large federal building, which is quite an involved one. This would be a fairly small part of that. It wouldn't add a huge layer of bureaucracy. It's something that would be done fairly quickly up front.
