Embodied emissions – knowledge building for industry [PDF]
, 2023 A climate emergency has been declared and government, policymakers, industries, researchers and architects have tremendous potential to shift the entire industry towards a (net) zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions-built environment. In particular, they all play a different but equally important role in the early design phase when there is the greatest ...
