UKGBC’s new Task Group –Whole Life Carbon Roadmap reduction via Circular Economy principles – is open for applications.
The new Task Group will explore how Circular Economy principles can reduce the Whole Life Carbon of both new and existing built assets.
The project aims to:
- Increase understanding within the real estate sector of how circular economy principles can support whole life carbon reductions, and where there may be potential trade-offs.
- Provide greater clarity on how circular economy may be measured and valued in relation to the whole life carbon of buildings. This will include the potential opportunities, challenges, and solutions in translating the carbon reduction outcomes into financial or other value metrics.
- Gather and review further industry research and case studies to help support the above aims.
The output is expected to be a report that will set out both the evidence and business case for using circular economy principles to reduce the whole life carbon of buildings, to help inform both investment and design decisions.
UKGBC is inviting applicants from its membership, seeking a broad range of expertise and encouraging applicants from businesses and organisations across the built environment value chain, including developers, investors, contractors, design and advisory services, product manufacturers, academia, and local authorities.
The deadline for applications is Friday 8th October 2021.
