Fabricators and suppliers of precast, GRC, GRG etc.. Clients who understand the benefits of special or modern methods of construction and want to guide their contractors to adopt them; especially clients with geometrically complex projects who want early proactive input to make sure that architectural ambition can be made practically deliverable for their contractors.

It allows us to generate outputs about its performance under different conditions..This is a powerful picture that allows all stakeholders to understand the problem and come up with creative ideas in a structured way that take into account what others know, while focusing on aspects that matter to achieve a successful solution.

Jointly they can then decide what to do next.Do we need better data or knowledge about a certain aspect?Do we need to model some aspects in more detail?

Does the solution need to be completely different?Have we formulated the problem properly in the first place?

Working with a Design to Value approach enables this type of questioning and flexibility..

Developing a solution through iteration.These are the main areas where lessons can be learned on how to reduce embodied carbon.. As-built embodied carbon analysis.

There is a perception across the construction industry that operational carbon is more significant than embodied carbon.Our results show that operational carbon is expected to account for around a third of whole life carbon over the next 60 years (decarbonisation of the electricity grid is not currently accounted for).

This operational carbon is based on NABERS Design for Performance modelling and is monitored during the building’s first year of occupation.. At two thirds of the whole life carbon of a building, embodied carbon is critical to address in the early design stages and provides the greatest opportunity for overall carbon impact reduction..Operational carbon vs embodied carbon.
