Available on its website and all in one place, the FEA’s new portal will host accessible guides and video content on embodied carbon. The Embodied Carbon Hub will be launched following a webinar on 28th April led by technical expert Andy Threlfall.
The Embodied Carbon Hub will contain two guides providing easily digestible information and engaging visuals. The first one will be an introduction on the subject and the second one will delve into the key technical information needed to understand the process behind gathering embodied carbon data.
John Cunningham, chief executive of FEA, said: “The need for embodied carbon data is clearly growing in our industry but a lot of the information out there is weighed down by all the technical aspects and terminology.
“It was important for us when creating the guides to get the tone just right. Down-to-earth language was a must, with a visually engaging presentation. Crucially we didn’t want to overcomplicate what many find a complex subject already.
“We see a lot of our members feel pressured to spend money on third parties to gather their embodied carbon data, but we wanted to provide a space where those concerned could learn more about it without spending money. They’ll hopefully find it engaging too.”
