“You can’t manage what you don’t measure," says Nigel Tonks, Arup's building decarbonisation expert. In this video he discusses Arup's Whole Lifecycle Carbon case study, which provides an exploration of its experience capturing carbon data for 800 design projects in 2023. #Decarbonisation #BuildingForClimate #WeAreArup
What will it take to halve the carbon emissions generated by new and refurbished buildings over their whole lifespans? That is what the built environment sector is being asked to achieve by 2030. At COP26 in 2021, we pledged to complete whole life carbon assessments (WLCA) across our global portfolio of building design projects. Now, two years later, we're sharing the details of how we implemented this commitment and the lessons we have learned in a new case study report. Using our digital platform, Zero, we captured WLCA data for over 800 buildings across 30 countries in 2023. We hope our findings will help the built environment industry tackle the challenges of establishing the datasets needed to decarbonise property worldwide. It’s time to take climate action every day.
