“PATHWAY TO ZERO CARBON BUILDINGS”
The presentation will mainly focus on the importance of Net Zero Carbon within the built environment with a comparison between Net Zero Carbon and Net Zero Energy, to understand how each of these strategies impacts a building’s life cycle performance.
New buildings versus retrofit assets will also be investigated to recognize the impact of each towards Net Zero Carbon.
And finally, case studies will be presented to demonstrate the importance of Embodied Carbon in buildings for existing and new assets.
