Site Visit to Paradise11, Vauxhall
About this event
The site tour will kick off with short presentations to set out key concepts and the thinking behind the project, followed by tours of the building itself to explore practical examples of embodied carbon solutions. Afterwards there will be a networking session and drinks with industry peers.
Paradise11 is a new hybrid structure office building in Vauxhall. The building uses mass timber, with CLT floors and glulam beams – upfront embodied carbon is calculated to be 413 kgCO2e/m2. The structure is designed to be demountable to enable reuse of building elements in future buildings, and is heated and cooled using air-source heat pumps.
Despite being a significant source of carbon emissions in the UK, embodied carbon emissions are currently unregulated, and measurement and mitigation within construction is typically voluntary. As highlighted by UKGBC’s Net Zero Whole Life Carbon Roadmap, the accurate and consistent measurement and reporting of embodied carbon has become increasingly important to ensure meaningful and credible progress towards net zero carbon goals.
To achieve this, it’s essential that embodied carbon moves quickly from being a challenge only addressed by leading organisations, to one that is tackled by stakeholders across the built environment industry.
Check out UKGBC’s Improving your modelling and reporting embodied carbon guidance for industry professionals, and Practical Guidance for writing a project brief for embodied carbon assessments.
