A visual presentation introducing the embodied energy and embodied carbon footprint of buildings and construction. The slides are highly visual and take the viewer through the life cycle stages of a building material, through to an assembled building or construction project.

2. The Beginning - The Cradle
• Embodied Energy and
embodied Carbon
Assessment Starts at the
Cradle
• All energy consumption
must be traced back to The
Cradle....

3. From the Cradle…
The Cradle =
The earth, or ground
Transport
Material Refining

4. From the Cradle….
…..to (Factory) Gate
Factories: Fabrication, assembly…etc
More transport
Products

5. ….and to (Construction) Site
DistributionPackaging
Construction Site

6. ….On-Site Carbon
Assembly Activities
Power
Waste =
embodied carbon of waste
+ waste management

7. Embodied Carbon
Embodied Carbon
of a Construction
Project
