Video: Embodied carbon emissions of construction products

Engineers increasingly need to know more about the environmental performance of the construction products used in their designs, but there is a concern that comparisons between alternative materials, products and systems are not based on comparable data. This is further compounded by conflicting claims and counter claims by competing suppliers keen to position their offering as the preferred solution.

This programme aims to help those who wish to understand more about how the environmental performance of construction products should be calculated.
