(Cancelled) [30 May 2024] Unlocking Asset Value: Zero Carbon Design and embodied carbon optimization strategies

[30 May 2024] Unlocking Asset Value: Zero Carbon Design and embodied carbon optimization strategies

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

Understanding the intricacies of whole life carbon emissions – a lifecycle perspective – is essential to enhancing asset value, achieving net zero (and net zero enabled) buildings, and reducing costs. This session will introduce whole life carbon thinking and then deep dive into embodied carbon optimisation strategies from a structural engineering perspective. The following aspects will be covered:

·       Articulating whole life carbon principles for zero carbon design

·       Optimising embodied carbon to reduce upfront carbon emissions

·       Utilising advanced computational design approach to improve design efficiency

·       Conducting optioneering to identify the most sustainable and cost-effective solutions

·       Showcasing Zero Carbon Design case studies

LEARNING OUTCOMES

1.     Learn whole life carbon principles with a focus on embodied carbon and the strategic methods for reducing upfront embodied carbon associated with structural design.

2.  Gain an appreciation of how efficient structural design contributes to the enhancement of asset value, sustainability and cost savings.

3.  Understand the benefits of utilising advanced computational design approaches in structural engineering practices.
