Embodied carbon in construction materials - the new concern for architects
Update: 2020-02-06
Description
Problem:
Production of the currently preferred construction materials for the building industry is one of the largest sources of carbon emissions globally
Key message:
As buildings become increasingly energy efficient in most parts of the world, the production of the construction materials mostly used - concrete, steel and glass - become the buildings' most severe climate impact. To reduce this climate impact a rethink of the materials that go into construction is necessary.
Speakers: Søren Lütken
