Ross Smith, AtkinsRéalis & Alex Anderson, Coleg Gwent

The Welsh Government has set a pathway of decreasing targets for embodied carbon on publicly funded projects. In this session Ross Smith, AtkinsRéalis and Alex Anderson, Head of Estates Development & Facilities at Coleg Gwent will describe what embodied carbon is, how to divide these targets between different elements of a building so they can be effectively measured and managed through the design process, and how they can be met by the adaptation of traditional methods and forms of construction to manage the risk and embrace innovation.
