Overview
Reducing embodied carbon in the built environment requires the construction industry to embrace low carbon, sustainable methods of building and close collaboration across all project stages.
This one-hour webinar provides a practical look at how the environmental impact of your projects can be minimised by combining sustainable materials and design with modern methods of construction – including prefabrication and precasting, modular builds and fabric first. It will also consider the barriers of adopting and scaling discussed methods, explore the role of surveyors from design to build, and share lessons from markets where low-carbon construction methods are well established.
Attendees will gain an introduction to range of low-carbon and modern construction methods – along with their benefits and challenges – and gain crucial insights into following green best practice.
Learning Outcomes
Explore real-life global projects that have adopted low-carbon methods and strategies for integration into all construction and planning stages.
Examine the possibilities of combining MMCs with green materials such as mass timber and CLT, low-carbon steel and alternatives to traditional concrete.
Understand the role of surveyor in delivering and promoting low-carbon construction methods, from procurement and measuring embodied carbon to providing budget certainty and cost benefit analysis.
Reflect on the carbon levels of your current projects and identify ways that low-carbon methods might be scaled and introduced to your existing processes or incentivised to clients.
