This talk addresses the topic: Sustainability, life cycle assessment and whole of life carbon

This presentation by Scientia Prof Deo Prasad (UNSW) analyses and interprets data and findings from multiple sources and outlines a series of current performance benchmarks and climate emergency performance targets for both operational and embodied carbon in building. 

He also highlights the urgency towards net zero by 2030 for the building and construction sector.

These target values can be used to set requirements to minimise carbon emissions from the built environment sector, i.e. through design, materials choices, legislation, non-regulatory assessment frameworks, design competitions, architecture awards, commitment agreements, tender documents or project contract documents.
