Gain the skills and knowledge to quantify, visualise, and reduce the embodied carbon of construction projects. This online masterclass is designed for construction professionals to address the environmental impact of the built environment.
Gain the skills and knowledge to quantify, visualise, and reduce the embodied carbon of construction projects.
The construction sector is grappling with its vast environmental footprint, with evidence showing that buildings alone contribute to almost 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. A nuanced understanding of embodied carbon is essential for construction professionals to address the unfolding climate emergency.
This 100% online masterclass is tailor-made for those in the construction industry eager to equip themselves with up-to-date knowledge on reducing embodied carbon in the built environment.
If you are an individual who participates in the Certified Professional Development (CPD) program of the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), this course can be claimed for four Sustainable Development CPD points.

Comprehend the basic principles of embodied carbon and recognise the major influencing factors. Familiarise yourself with various data sources for embodied carbon assessments, including Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and the EPiC database. Gain insights on their appropriate applications and discern when to best utilise each source.
Understand the significance of adopting a comprehensive approach for quantifying embodied carbon and learn to navigate the uncertainties inherent in life cycle assessments for the built environment.
Acquire first-hand knowledge from the creators of the EPiC database. Master its application for quantifying the embodied carbon in both buildings and infrastructure. Learn how to integrate this understanding into informed decisions across the design, construction, and operational phases of different built assets.
Engage with industry partners through interactive activities that demonstrate how embodied carbon assessment is being applied to real-world scenarios. Learn from expert-led discussions and constructive feedback, ensuring immediate relevance and integration into your ongoing and future projects.
