About this webinar:
Navigating the refurb vs. rebuild argument?
As the construction industry accelerates toward net-zero targets, understanding the carbon impact of design choices has never been more critical. Whether you're planning a new development or considering refurbishment, making the right decision starts with a robust carbon assessment.
In this expert-led session, Cudd Bentley Consulting joins forces with One Click LCA to explore how life-cycle carbon assessments (LCAs) can guide strategic decisions between new-build and refurbishment. Using real-world insights and practical examples, the session will unpack how carbon data can reveal the true environmental cost of each approach.
Whether you’re navigating a complex retrofit or debating demolition and rebuild, this session will help you understand how carbon modelling informs smarter, more sustainable choices.
What will you learn?
- The role of carbon assessments in evaluating refurbishment vs new-build scenarios
- How to use whole life-cycle carbon (WLC) assessments to support low-carbon decision-making
- Real project examples where carbon assessments have changed the course of design
- Why new build isn’t always the lower-carbon option — and why
- How Cudd Bentley integrates carbon modelling into building services engineering
- Tips for making carbon data meaningful to clients and design teams
- How to get started with One Click LCA’s Building LCA tools to assess, compare and report embodied carbon with ease
