Report summarizes outcomes from Embodied Carbon Week
Embodied Carbon Week ran from 7 – 11 April. The purpose of the event was to bring together built environment practitioners to raise awareness of the importance of embodied carbon in the built environment, and identify actions for the various actors in this working context as to next steps to ensure best practice prevails across the industry.
This report summarises the feedback gained from the industry events that took place over the course of the week. It has been prepared by Arup based on summary feedback provided on sixteen Embodied Carbon week events.
Key messages from the report are tallied in the graph below:
Potential next steps include looking into ways in which embodied carbon and operational carbon can be dealt with in tandem and how this might be more formally addressed within UK construction; Reinforcing the Passivhaus principles of prioritising the reduction of energy consumption.
