Architects have the opportunity to take the lead in redefining how buildings are designed to achieve a low carbon future.

Embodied
and Whole Life Carbon thinking will change
the way buildings are designed, yet carbon
emissions associated with the construction and life of buildings are not wholly understood by the profession. Energy is
assumed to be the province of services engineers, but energy from materials is as big an issue.
Architects have the opportunity to take the lead in redefining how buildings
are designed to achieve a low carbon future.

Targeting
Zero is an accessible and friendly read, introducing and explaining many of the
concepts around Embodied and Whole Life Carbon, using case studies taken from
in-depth research. It will demonstrate how architects can become central to the
carbon resource impacts of the buildings they design and how low carbon
approaches should drive innovation.
