As the construction industry shifts its focus towards whole-life carbon assessments, understanding the embodied carbon impacts across all stages of a building's lifecycle has never been more important. Join us for a transformative in-person event that dives deep into this crucial topic and its impact on keeping the average temperature rise above pre-industrial levels within 1.5°C.

This interactive course will equip you with the knowledge and tools to distinguish between net-zero operational energy and embodied carbon considerations. Learn how to calculate carbon payback periods to guide design decisions and gain practical strategies to reduce overall carbon emissions from your projects.

What to expect:

  • Comprehensive Insights: Explore the nuances of whole-life carbon assessments and how they influence design and construction processes.

  • Practical Applications: Learn tangible steps to minimize carbon emissions while maintaining design flexibility and occupant comfort.

  • Carbon-Conscious Design: Discover how envelope design can make a meaningful difference in achieving sustainable building goals.

  • Interactive Learning: Engage with industry experts and peers through hands-on exercises and collaborative discussions.

Join us for a day of in-depth learning and collaborative exploration as we work together to create a more sustainable future. Attendees will leave with a stronger foundation in reducing carbon emissions and actionable strategies for their own projects.
