Across the built environment industry there is greater responsibility and scrutiny around the verification of project carbon impacts. With much of carbon related to building operation being resolved through electrification and the greening of the grid, a strong focus of carbon evaluation has shifted toward material upfront carbon.

With more and more projects having targets and requirements around material upfront carbon, more and more built environment professionals require greater understanding of what is upfront carbon, how to calculate and then design/specify accordingly.

Join the Adelaide Sustainable Building Network and AIA SA Chapter Regen Design Committee in a workshop to improve your technical understanding of built environment upfront carbon and go through practical exercises of how to effectively calculate it. The workshop will be delivered by Ken Long, ASBN Chairperson and Regional Sustainability Manager of SA & VIC at Lendlease, alongside Yaara Plaves and Tom Hamper from the SA Chapter AIA Regen Design Committee.

This event will contribute 2 formal CPD points for professional accreditation for those that complete a short assessment.

A light afternoon tea will also be provided.

Acknowledgement of Country

Adelaide Sustainable Building Network acknowledges the Kaurna People of the Adelaide Plains, Tarntanya, where our work is most often undertaken. We also acknowledge the Peramangk People of the Mt Lofty Ranges, the Ngarrindjeri of Fleurieu, Coorong and lower Murray regions and the Ngadjuri of the Barossa and Mid-North as the traditional custodians of the land where we live and work. We pay our respects to all Elders, past, present and emerging, of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander spirituality recognises the connectedness of people and culture with earth, sky and water country. The land is alive with traces of Dreaming ancestors. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
