Description: Designed for structural engineers but welcoming to all, this session provides a focused introduction to embodied carbon in buildings. Participants will learn how to define and apply ...

But, writing in the AJ, Simon Sturgis of Targeting Zero has called for ‘a major edit’ of the standard, arguing that it ‘unintentionally encourages demolition’ as it provides easier embodied carbon ...

The methods help reduce the building’s operational and embodied carbon, not just embodied carbon. The article also misstated the American Institute of Architects’ assessment of a source of ...

It is proposed that this will change in the future to ‘lifecycle embodied’ emissions, but at no stage will there be limits for ‘whole life carbon’ (WLC) – in other words, for the total greenhouse gas ...

We will explore novel and innovative approaches to addressing structural embodied carbon - from new materials to new approaches to design. We will hear perspectives from outside the structural ...

The rating system uses numerical definitions in units of embodied carbon dioxide equivalent per tonne for cement and per cubic metre of concrete product (ECO2e /m3), also referred to as Global ...

In addition to carbon, NHS operations demand immense quantities of natural resources. This translates into significant environmental impact embodied in buildings – depending on how a hospital ...

Called LCR, the ratings system is designed to help manufacturers capture and disclose information on embodied carbon. The information is presented on a clear grading scale, with AA being the highest ...

The total volume of wood used was 115,250 cubic feet. This study found that even with the worst-case scenario for slash management, mass timber accounts for lower embodied carbon values than concrete ...
