Four specific areas are highlighted: 1) "Fabric First" approach and how it can help reduce consumption of energy and build towards greater energy efficiency 2) Carbon Accounting - processes now being used in construction projects 3) Mass Timber Solutions - looking at Whole Lifecycle Analysis from forest floor to Built Environment & how it can help us with Net Zero 4) Sustainable Materials - processes, practices & solutions within construction

BE-ST - Low Carbon Learning, Fabric and Structure - Module 1, Taking a Fabric First Approach, 04052022

Taking a fabric first approach - i.e. improving the energy performance of walls, floors, ceilings - will dramatically reduce the requirement for energy and help the built environment meet net zero targets. This module will demonstrate how to do this and highlight the key elements that are crucial when designing new build or applying retrofit solutions.
