Building modelling can offer very accurate quantities of material used in our designs but carbon calculations rely on accurate data about the embodied carbon in the materials. Different parties are using different carbon factors on which carbon optioneering is being carried out and decisions are being made.
How can we identify consistent carbon data and establish a consensus on the figures to be used?
Hear from the team behind the Built Environment Carbon Database and Future Homes Hub on the establishment of this tool.
