This entails assessing the entire lifecycle of a building, from its construction and material selection to its daily operations and eventual decommissioning. In this edition of Green Thinking Review (GTR), we delve into the topic of "Carbon Footprint Reduction in Building Operations."
Carbon reduction may be a priority, but keeping schools, libraries and civic buildings open and operational is of far greater importance. Its impossible to shut facilities during a lengthy or invasive installation of equipment, even if energy savings are on offer.
If your organization wants to reduce embodied carbon in your building projects, what can you do?As with many aspects of sustainability in building projects, the biggest carbon impact comes from decisions made fairly early in the design process. Some questions to ask
As operating emissions become less important, embodied emissions become more so. Maybe we should build cars out of wood?The preoccupation was the reduction of operating energy, and not many in the architecture and engineering biz were too concerned about embodied carbon.
Reducing energy demand in dwellings is an important component of meeting carbon reduction targets. The drivers of such demand reduction are linked to occupant practices, varying greatly between people and locations.
