Webinar on Building Reuse is Climate Action!

Here you can find a recording of a webinar 'Building Reuse is Climate Action!', recorded on 8 October 2021. This webinar reviews tools used for construction industry carbon quantification and focuses on a tool that calculates the quantities of carbon not used to provide historic buildings for modern uses. Using case studies of completed projects this webinar illustrates a compelling environmental case for building reuse and its part in the goal for zero carbon emissions. Decarbonizing existing and historic buildings provides one of the best opportunities to meet Paris Agreement Climate targets, because construction and material procurement represents about 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions and up to 70% of large city emissions.
