Description
This advanced CPD course is designed for architects and building designers to strengthen their ability to make rigorous, defensible embodied carbon decisions in practice. It focuses on whole of life carbon thinking, helping participants identify where the greatest reduction opportunities exist and how timing affects those outcomes. The course builds practical skills in reading Environmental Product Declarations and applying lifecycle stage logic to compare structural and cladding systems against carbon targets. It also addresses common risks in specification by teaching how to critically assess marketing claims that do not align with lifecycle assessment data. Through applied case studies and structured frameworks, it equips practitioners to integrate embodied carbon analysis into real project decision making with confidence.
This CPD provides general guidance on professional responsibilities and documentation practices. It does not constitute legal advice or replace project-specific contractual or statutory obligations.
