Analysing methodological choices in calculations of embodied energy and GHG emissions from buildings (2017)
Journal Article

The importance of embodied energy and embodied greenhouse gas emissions (EEG) from buildings is gaining increased interest within building sector initiatives and on a regulatory level. In spite of recent harmonisation efforts, reported results of EEG... Read More about Analysing methodological choices in calculations of embodied energy and GHG emissions from buildings.

Women, Boards, and the UK Built Environment (2017)
Report

"The most recent 2017 statistics have seen a small increase in women holding technical roles in UK industry. However, despite years of attention from industry leaders, activists and government, the built environment sector has failed to achieve femal...

Inclusion of on-site renewables in design-stage building life cycle assessments (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper investigates the inclusion of renewables in building life cycle assessments. On-site renewable electricity generation is increasingly common in the built environment, but existing guidance for the inclusion of these renewable systems in de...

Decision-making for the demolition or adaptation of buildings (2017)
Journal Article

This paper considers why the decision may be made either to demolish or adapt existing buildings on brownfield sites and compares real-life decisions to those produced by theoretical design-support tools. Five case studies, including three individual... Read More about Decision-making for the demolition or adaptation of buildings.

IEA EBC annex 57 ‘evaluation of embodied energy and CO2eq for building construction’ (2017)
Journal Article

The current regulations to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from buildings have focused on operational energy consumption. Thus legislation excludes measurement and reduction of the embodied energy and embodied GHG emissio...

Scrutinising embodied carbon in buildings: The next performance gap made manifest (2017)
Journal Article

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is becoming increasingly mainstream as an early-stage design-decision tool for buildings. Still, there are considerable variations in how the method is currently used, leading to limitations in comparing the results and th...

Measuring embodied carbon dioxide equivalent of buildings: A review and critique of current industry practice (2017)
Journal Article

Lowering the embodied carbon dioxide equivalent (embodied CO2e) of buildings is an essential response to national and global targets for carbon reduction. Globally, construction industry is developing tools, databases and practices for measuring embo...
