CPD+ Workshop – Going Carbon Neutral

Take your Practice to 100% Carbon Neutral

As a key part of the construction industry, Architects cannot shy away from the fact that our projects are a BIG source of carbon emissions. Together, building and construction are responsible for 39% of all carbon emissions in the world (1) –

• with operational emissions (from energy used to heat, cool and light buildings) accounting for 28%;
• the remaining 11% comes from embodied carbon emissions, or ‘upfront’ carbon that is associated with materials and construction processes.

Knowledge is power. And if each of us took steps to learn what actions can have the most impact to proactively take both our practices and projects Carbon Neutral, we can collectively make a very big difference to our planet indeed.

This CPD event brings together insight from practitioners & leading consultants on what steps to take our practices, projects and urban interventions to 100% Carbon Neutral by 2050. (2)
