Evaluating the Hidden Carbon in SDE 1 & 3

Wolfgang Kessling

The first part explores the net-zero strategies for operational energy, while the second delves into the impact of avoiding carbon emissions by retaining the base buildings’ embodied carbon.

Wolfgang Kessling investigates the value of preserving embodied carbon through Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) undertaken over the multiple design scenarios of the School of Design and Environment (SDE) renovation.

The SDE renovation projects is an important prototype belonging to a larger systemic whole; underlining the challenges that professionals need to work with in order to create positive change.
