Embodied carbon will be responsible for almost half of total new construction emissions between now and 2050, according to Architecture 2030. We need to get a grip on the embodied carbon now if we want to meet the climate targets by the year 2050.
Is embodied carbon a good thing?
Embodied carbon is gaining increasing attention from both industry and government where it is now recognised that embodied carbon emissions make up a large fraction of the emissions from the construction sector. In fact, it is often 20-50% of the whole life (embodied + operational) carbon emissions of a new building.
Why is embodied energy important?
Embodied energy is the total non-renewable energy that goes into the manufacture of a material and plays a large role in the choice of building materials. It is an important factor to consider when assessing the life cycle of a building and it relates directly to the sustainability of the built environment.
