In this course, we examine the environmental case for refurbishment, and how that is guiding policy change. Historically, there have been powerful incentives – cultural and financial – favouring new build, but this is changing – and the business case for refurb and rebuild is growing.
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
Understand how embodied carbon is broken down in a typical residential and office building
Explain the business case for choosing refurbishment over new builds
