Alex Mar Morales, Senior Sustainability Engineer, will explore Stage A and MEP, addressing early-stage carbon considerations and building services impacts.

Kim Gault, Principal Sustainability Consultant, will delve into modules B, C and D of the life cycle, exploring embodied carbon impacts throughout the operational and end-of-life stages.

Javier Bakker-Noguer, Graduate Sustainability Engineer, will conclude with an overview of our in-house Cundall Carbon Calculator tool. Demonstrating how the tool supports and promotes best practice in whole life carbon assessment standards, as well as leading industry frameworks and certifications such as Greater London Authority, BREEAM, LEED, Net Zero Carbon Building Standard, and EU Taxonomy, among others.
