The answer is simple: as early as possible and continuously throughout a project\u2019s lifecycle, says Tom Ridley-Thompson, associate director at CPMG Architects<\/h2>\n<p>Attention to whole-life carbon in the built environment <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/rics-launches-global-initiative-align-whole-life-carbon-reporting-across-built-environment\/161242\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is increasing<\/a>. Prior to this focus emerging, most sustainability efforts have been to reduce operational energy usage \u2013 which is still incredibly important. Planning authorities partly set the existing agenda, typically encouraging measures such as energy efficiency and renewable energy generation.<\/p>\n<p>As the energy grid continues to decarbonise, the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/getting-embodied-carbon-right-foundation-whole-life-carbon-reporting\/161961\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">embodied carbon<\/a> and whole-life carbon thinking will keep increasing.<\/p>\n<p>Planning authorities are already beginning to add requirements for whole-life carbon assessments, or similar, in planning applications. The Greater London Authority has led the way, with its methodology specifying a consistent 60-year assessment period to enable comparison between projects.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the Department for Education has embedded whole-life carbon requirements into school design through its Construction Framework 25, which launched earlier this year. Tasked with meeting a hard embodied carbon limit, this is a major change for the main contractors delivering the projects.<\/p>\n<p>The RIBA\u2019s 2030 Climate Challenge and the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard, among other voluntary challenges and standards, also encourage whole-life carbon thinking. One key similarity is the importance of early decision-making.<\/p>\n<h3>Understanding carbon implications<\/h3>\n<p>Early decision-making within projects is fundamental, such as whether to build new or refurbish. This decision encompasses many considerations, but from a whole-life carbon perspective, we must work together to ensure information is accessible, actionable, and integrated from day one.<\/p>\n<p>For example, designing a timber-framed building might be seen as a catch-all solution for reducing embodied carbon. However, because embodied and whole-life carbon considers all aspects of the building fabric, from carpets to light bulbs and beyond, the frame is not the end of the story. However, I must note that timber use certainly brings benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Final decisions on the procurement of each part of a building may come at a later stage, or they may have been set earlier by performance requirements or named suppliers in the specification. This aspect has a substantial impact on a project&#8217;s carbon performance.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, carbon decisions need to be built into the early project stages to avoid missing out on early wins. Significant carbon reductions can still be achieved later in the process, but the earlier planning and stakeholder engagement begin, the better.<\/p>\n<p>When a whole-life carbon assessment is completed for a project, it covers all aspects of construction, handover, operation, future refurbishment, and eventual demolition. This requires asking a variety of questions across topics such as the processes the contractor will use on site and the owner\u2019s maintenance regime. These are the considerations that a design team may not typically focus on.<\/p>\n<p>For architects to play a successful role in carbon reduction, we must undertake the design stage differently. If we want to design a building for its intended purpose and for disassembly at the end of its operational life, whole\u2011life thinking will be essential.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the carbon implications, whole-life thinking is a vital part of the built environment\u2019s responsibility to design responsibly for future generations. Transparency and accountability are already themes reaching every corner of the construction industry, and whole-life carbon thinking will only increase their prominence.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom Ridley-Thompson, associate director at CPMG Architects, says the built environment should consider whole-life carbon at the start of a project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":166162,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[307],"tags":[702,277,145559,430,173154],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-166161","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-energy-news","8":"tag-architecture","9":"tag-built-environment","10":"tag-emissions","11":"tag-energy-efficiency","12":"tag-exclusive"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How is carbon thinking in the built environment evolving?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Tom Ridley-Thompson, associate director at CPMG Architects, says we should consider whole-life carbon at the start of a project\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/how-is-carbon-thinking-in-the-built-environment-evolving\/166161\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How is carbon thinking in the built environment evolving?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Tom Ridley-Thompson, associate director at CPMG Architects, says we should consider whole-life carbon at the start of a project\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/how-is-carbon-thinking-in-the-built-environment-evolving\/166161\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
