Benchmarking of Resource Use and Embodied C02 in Buildings
February 13, 2023 @ 8:00 am - February 14, 2023 @ 5:00 pm
The increase in frequency of extreme weather events is building up the political pressure and raising the bar for C02 mitigation goals. Buildings are known to contribute over their service life for around 40% of the anthropogenic emissions. Building structure is the single highest contribution to the embodied C02. It is estimated that building design and, particularly, building structural design, have a potential to mitigate 20 – 50% of the embodied C02 of buildings embodied through dematerialization. However, so far there is no market representative benchmark demonstrating material consumption and carbon footprint for building structures. The Globe Consensus, invites you to participate in a Workshop 13-14 February 2023 which aims to discuss minimum data for measuring and reporting materials intensity and embodied C02 of the structure of buildings, their partitions & fa~ades as well as data exchange standards.
