These outputs – including virtual reality motorway driving – allow us to visualise and assess risks and opportunities of a smart motorway at the earliest planning stages.

This ensures that developers, consultants and policy officers in the UK will have a reference point as to what defines what their developments should achieve to ensure our climate change targets are met.. LETI will also be publishing the.Embodied Carbon.

alongside the main guide, which offers supplementary guidance to those interested in exploring embodied carbon in more detail.Helen Hough, our Head of Sustainability, who led the graphics team for the main guide and participated in the workshops collating industry knowledge for the.Embodied Carbon Primer.

says, ‘Reducing embodied carbon is just as important as reducing operational carbon, if not more so, as its effect on our environment is mostly felt on day one of a building.Embodied Carbon Primer.

has been written to overcome the knowledge gap in the industry of how to reduce embodied carbon and how we can apply these strategies to our current and future projects.’.

Bryden Wood’s work on Landsec’s Sumner Street office scheme is featured as a case study because it delivers a significant reduction of embodied carbon intensity versus that of a traditional design.The question is whether to do so we need an energy production portfolio without nuclear power, or one that includes nuclear energy.

And so, in this case, the question ‘is nuclear energy renewable?’ may be less important than ‘can nuclear power help us tackle the climate crisis?’.You might decide against nuclear power because you believe that all our future energy requirements can be met by renewables; that all the required assets can be delivered in time to decarbonise; and that the overall context and incentives are right for this to happen.

And if they are not, you might still judge that the consequences for humanity are not as bad as the risks we would incur by using nuclear energy..Although some argue that it would be technically possible to meet all of our energy needs using renewable energy sources by 2050,.
