Why method matters: Temporal, spatial and physical variations in LCA and their impact on choice of structural system (2018)
Journal Article

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is increasingly used as an early-stage design-decision tool to support choices of structural system. However LCA modellers must first make numerous methodological decisions, and the resultant wide variations in approach ar...

Furthering embodied carbon assessment in practice: Results of an industry-academia collaborative research project (2018)
Journal Article

In order to meet the mid-century carbon reduction targets and to mitigate climate change and global warming it is imperative that embodied greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions in the built environment receive immediate attention from policy, industry an...

Adaptation and demolition in a masterplan context (2018)
Book Chapter

This chapter explores the range of decisions and the reasons behind them when considering demolition and adaptation on a masterplan site in which multiple buildings are affected. It builds upon existing studies on adaptive reuse and demolition at an... Read More about Adaptation and demolition in a masterplan context.

Design and construction strategies for reducing embodied impacts from buildings – Case study analysis (2018)
Journal Article

The dominance of operational energy and related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of most existing buildings is decreasing in new construction, when primary fossil energy of building operation decreases as result of the implementation of energy efficien...

Embodied Carbon in Buildings: Measurement, Management, and Mitigation (2018)
Book

Embodied carbon is, to some extent, an odd beast. Its importance is evident and the beneficial consequences of its reduction undeniable. We know that the built envi- ronment is a major source of our carbon excesses, yet most policies focus only on pa...

Embodied carbon measurement, mitigation and management within Europe, drawing on a cross-case analysis of 60 building case studies (2018)
Book Chapter

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art on this subject within Europe. In order to do so, it draws on a cross-case analysis of over 60 European case studies, developed and analysed by the authors as part of the Internat...
