Swatchbox Unboxed CPD: Embodied Carbon - What Even Is An EPD?

Presented by Envirobuild – February 22, 2024 – 1:00pm - 2:00pm GMT

DESCRIPTION

With all the improvements in operational carbon of buildings, it is estimated that >50% of many buildings' entire lifetime carbon is the embedded carbon of the initial build. Environmental Product Declarations are the harmonised standard of presenting the information, but how do you read them, and how do you compare them? This hour-long seminar explains everything that you need to understand on these frankly over-engineered documents and which information you actually need to look at.

PROGRAM LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Learn about the latest industry knowledge and insights to help you keep up with the ever-evolving green building industry.

2. Gain a better understanding of the principles, processes, and categories involved in life cycle analyses (LCAs) and environmental product declarations (EPDs).

3. Gain practical skills needed to read, understand, and compare EPDs - helping you make more informed decisions on your future projects.
