Embodied carbon varies based on the building typology.

Stored in an open access, central location, the digital library is the bedrock of the digitised design to construction process.It also embeds the standardised requirements:.

Standard space types.Critical adjacencies and operational flows.Spatial clusters for common configurations.

Supplier component data/technical characteristics e.g.maximum span and the interface between components and sub-assemblies.

A series of span tables were embedded in the library for The Forge to provide quantities for concrete and reinforcement, based on slab performance requirements including: fire separation, acoustic separation, loading and vibration performance and spans/grids.

This involves considering both active and passive design strategies to optimise building health without compromising sustainability.. 3.Emphasis on embodied carbon.

A significant portion of the discussion centres on the importance of reducing embodied carbon—the carbon footprint associated with materials and construction processes.As operational carbon (carbon used during the building's life) decreases due to better technology and design practices, embodied carbon becomes a larger proportion of a building's overall carbon footprint.. 4.
