Projects focusing on embodied carbon have been recognised for the first time in a separate category of the CIBSE Building Performance Awards 2022.

The CIBSE Embodied Carbon award recognises exceptional contributions to understanding and reducing embodied carbon in building services.

Three entries made the category shortlist:

  • Buro Happold‘s whole life carbon assessment for the Leonardo Royal Hotel and The Distillery office, part of Glassfields mixed use development in Bristol
  • Michael Lonsdale Group‘s Embodied Carbon Questionnaire, developed to glean embodied carbon data for products that do not have an Environmental Product Declaration; and
  • NG Bailey‘s carbon calculation tool for its offsite manufacturing facility, which enables embodied carbon of offsite assembly to be compared to traditional construction methods

The winner of the embodied carbon category will be announced along with the winners from the other 11 other categories at an awards ceremony on 24th February 2022, at the Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge, London.
