    • Unboxing Carbon - the Course

      The last decade has seen a wellspring of vocabulary around sustainability emerge and gain prominence. But though we have the language, do we really have the literacy? What exactly is embodied carbon? Do you know your building’s carbon footprint? How can you trim that footprint in the design process? And why does it matter in the first place?

      We are proud to launch Unboxing Carbon, a four-hour introductory course providing the knowledge and tools to calculate embodied CO2 for building materials.

    • 1. Base course

      Carbon and Materials ‘Base course’, an course introducing the principles of measuring carbon emissions, understanding the global implications of climate change from the built environment, and conversing intelligibly with clients on decarbonization regulations and possibilities.

      Includes a workshop with materials, with a focus on dialog and the intuitive understanding of embodied carbon.
      Target group: Everyone, including partners, architects, engineers, interior designers, business development and communications, etc.

      2. Data course

      Carbon and Materials ‘Data course’, an course introducing the principles of measuring carbon emissions, finding, understanding and working with the available data.

      Includes a workshop with hands-on experience using EPD data to understand materials and their carbon impacts per m2. Course material includes Henning Larsens templates in Excel and InDesign, which provide the framework for your team to produce the first pages of your office’s Material Carbon catalog. As part of the course fee, this initial work will also be quality controlled.

      Target group

      Architects and constructing architects involved in design/material selection/proposals/detailing and specification writing.

      We've collected some reading material that can get you started on your journey towards becoming carbon literate.

    • When it comes to healthier building materials, how do we do better?

      How can architects rethink their material selections to support a more sustainable future? We asked two of our colleagues this question and according to them, there are numerous ways – and it’s urgent.

    • How our building materials make or break our green ideals

      Martha Lewis, the winner of the 2019 Person Prize of Det Bæredygtige Element sustainability award, reflects on how our choice of building materials can define our commitment to sustainable architecture.

    • An architect´s guide to upfront carbon

      The construction industry may have an outsized impact on the environment, but it also has enormous potential to be at the forefront of change. Material selection can make a big difference, but often decision-making is solely based on the carbon the building emits throughout its entire lifetime.

    • New publication: Designing with wood and bio-based materials

      Concrete, steel, and aluminum are responsible for 23% of the world’s total CO2 emissions. While a portion of those emissions come from other industries, the biggest sinner is without comparison construction. In this new publication, ‘Plant a Seed’, we present an alternative, sharing our insights on designing with wood and biobased materials for significantly reduced carbon.
