BE-ST - Low Carbon Learning, Fabric and Structures - Module 5, approach to delivery of Net Zero Buildings Skills, 29032022

A webinar about low carbon construction. 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 3, Mass Timber Solutions Module, 11052022

Focusing on new homegrown products this module considers the whole life cycle analysis from forest floor to built environment .. supporting designers, specifiers, procurement, etc, to consider the full process (growing/felling/milling/optimising/drying/hauling/manufacturing) to ensure that the lowest embodied carbon options are chosen for the built environment and begin the transitional culture change from focusing on operational carbon, to the embodied carbon of specified construction materials

BE-ST - Low Carbon Learning, Fabric and Structure - Module 2, Carbon Accounting Module, 17052022

This module will focus on how carbon accounting can be used within the built environment. It will highlight the technical challenges to reduce embodied and operational carbon and explore specific processes that can be used on construction projects, explaining how carbon footprint can be defined more easily and how calculating tools can be used effectively.
