The Carbon Problem – why are we looking at only half the story?

• Are wind turbines a big mistake?
• Are planes a better carbon bet than trains?
• Are EPCs and DECs out of date?
• Do you know how much carbon it took to make your building?
• Are those sun control louvers reducing carbon use or increasing it?
• Existing buildings are a carbon resource, but how much?

This will explain what embodied carbon is all about, and how it relates to operational carbon use. We will discuss why this matters, and how a proper, total carbon picture enables buildings to be sensibly compared.

The presentations at this seminar will be followed by an open discussion chaired by Paul Edwards.
