Insights into costing lowered embodied carbon

Reducing embodied carbon is one of the biggest challenges facing the built environment sector. But as we move towards net zero goals, how do we consider the carbon cost on a project from the outset?

Join us for this webinar in which we will tackle carbon budgets and the challenges of costing lowered embodied carbon into projects. We will examine the latest work on measuring embodied carbon, gaining quality data and what impacts this has, through a series of short presentations and robust discussion. 

Bring your questions to our experts and take away innovative ideas to put into practice.
