Carbon assessment trials - Lessons learnt

In this three-part webinar series, we will explore the journey the Ministry of Education and BRANZ are taking to design, assess and report on carbon in larger buildings using lifecycle assessment. The webinars will cover various topics related to carbon assessment including: 

• Overview of government carbon objectives
• BRANZ carbon footprint report and recommendations
• Ministry of Education Carbon Assessment Reporting template
• Using the report as a design tool.
• Case study of journey to incorporate carbon assessment during design phases
• The key  discoveries and learnings from the carbon assessment trial
• How design, cost and innovation intersect with carbon.  

Peter Cui from the Ministry of Education and Dave Dowdell from BRANZ will be joined by architects from McKenzie Higham and Athfield Architects who will talk about their experiences of incorporating carbon in the design process.

Webinar 2 - Carbon assessment trials - Lessons learnt

We dive deeper into the key outputs, discoveries and learnings from the carbon assessment trials. This session provides a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced and the strategies employed to effectively incorporate carbon considerations into the design process. The webinar emphasises the importance of a holistic approach to sustainability and environmentally conscious decision-making in construction projects.
