IN CONVERSATION WITH BIRMINGHAM'S LEADING NET ZERO ARCHITECT - DESIGNING FOR THE FUTURE: THE ROLE OF SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS & CARBON TRANSPARENCY IN CONSTRUCTION
Sustainable design is critical to the future of construction, influencing both environmental impact and project success. This talk will explore the significance of using natural materials, clarify the implications of ESG and science-based targets for staff, clients, and projects, and address the widespread misunderstandings surrounding carbon literacy in the industry. With the imminent introduction of a materials passport to track carbon and increase transparency, we must learn from European models to transition our buildings effectively, setting a new standard for sustainable design.
