Lunch + Learn with Architects Declare and Engineers Declare – Integrated design

Event/Workshop

How can integrated design result in projects being embodied and operational carbon positive?



Venue
ZOOM
AU

Date & time

Wednesday, 1 December 2021, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

Built environment professionals have an epic challenge. Change the norm, address the global climate emergency, decarbonise the industry and regenerate our planet. But no one stakeholder can change this on their own, and we need to take an active collaborative role in integrated design.

Join clients, architects, engineers and builders as we start the conversation with our industry on ways to do this as a team. 

  • How can we adopt more of a greater system and integrated approach to design from all disciplines?
  • Can we change the design directive to be more than just targets and credit systems?
  • How can we be experimental, push boundaries and build assurances?
  • How can we do things differently and better in the future, in ways they may not have been done before?
  • How can we creatively consider extra things such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), embodied emissions,  operational emissions and post-occupancy evaluations?
