Construction faces an enormous challenge: the need to dramatically cut carbon emissions and reduce its impact on the environment.
A powerful tool for addressing decarbonisation is life cycle assessment (LCA) – the process of measuring the environUnderstand how LCA and EPDs are influencing product specification and sustainability decisions.
Construction faces a major challenge: reducing carbon emissions and limiting its environmental impact. As project teams place greater focus on whole-life carbon, manufacturers are under increasing pressure to provide clear, reliable and accessible sustainability data.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a key tool for measuring the environmental impact of buildings, materials and products across their lifespan. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) also play an important role in helping specifiers compare products and make more informed decisions.
This expert-led webinar brings specifiers and manufacturers together to explore the role of LCA and EPDs in construction. It explains why product data matters, the challenges project teams face when assessing carbon, and how manufacturers can support more sustainable specification decisions.mental impact of buildings and materials across their entire lifespan.
This expert-led webinar brings specifiers and manufacturers together to give an overview of LCA and its importance to unlocking sustainability, challenges the industry faces in conducting assessments and how NBS can help.
In this session, we’ll cover:
-
What life cycle assessment is and why it matters for both products and projects.
-
How LCAs influence material, product and design choices.
-
The challenges architects, engineers and specifiers face when measuring whole-life carbon and environmental impact.
-
The crucial role manufacturers play in providing product data, including carbon metrics and EPDs.
-
How NBS Source and NBS Chorus support life cycle assessment and sustainability reporting.
