In this module you will learn about embodied and Whole Life Carbon analysis, how to embed it into an iterative design process, where to find the data you will need, questions to ask manufacturers, and carbon passports. Understanding and thinking about materials and their impact in a wider context will help add a deeper layer to your decision making on projects, ultimately reducing carbon emissions and the impact of our choices on the planet.Learning outcomes• Integration of Carbon Analysis in Design Iterations: Learners will acquire the ability to integrate embodied and Whole Life Carbon analysis seamlessly into iterative design processes, ensuring sustainability considerations are foundational throughout the design lifecycle. • Data Sourcing and Evaluation Skills: Learners will develop competency in identifying and evaluating relevant data sources necessary for conducting carbon analysis, including understanding the questions to ask manufacturers and utilizing carbon passports effectively. • Holistic Understanding of Material Impact: Participants will gain a holistic understanding of materials and their wider contextual impact, enabling them to consider the environmental implications of material choices in diverse project scenarios. • Application of Sustainable Decision-Making: Through this module, learners will enhance their decision-making abilities by employing a deeper understanding of materials’ environmental impact, aiming to minimize carbon emissions and make informed, sustainable choices in design projects. These outcomes aim to equip learners with the practical skills and knowledge necessary to incorporate carbon analysis into the design process, emphasizing the broader understanding of material impact and its direct application to sustainable decision-making.SpeakerLouisa Bowles Louisa Bowles is a Partner and Head of Sustainability at HawkinsBrown.
