Webinar | Operational Carbon in Whole Life Carbon assessments

Webinar 1 pm-2 pm, 21 Feb 2023

Join LETI for the third session of the Whole Life Carbon (WLC) webinar series.

This webinar will demonstrate an approach to operational carbon in WLC assessments. As the industry becomes more familiar with embodied carbon assessments, consultants are using a WLC approach when scrutinising and evaluating design options.

A LETI workstream has evaluated assumptions in WLC assessments and how they address the complexities of converting operational energy to operational carbon.

This webinar will introduce a calculation reporting methodology ‘Split Carbon Factor' which recognises that every building must play its part and support the grid to decarbonise in an equitable way and not allow high energy buildings to use the benefits of a decarbonised grid that they do not actively support.

There will also be discussion regarding:

  • the uncertainties of the decarbonisation pathway of the UK grid
  • the relationship between the amount of energy used by buildings and the ability of the UK grid to decarbonise
  • understanding the trade offs between operational energy and embodied carbon
