Whole building LCA in Practice: Challenges & Successes

About this webinar:

What happens when Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment (WBLCA) moves from theory to practice?

In Australia’s rapidly evolving built environment landscape, reducing embodied carbon is no longer a “nice to have” — it’s a necessity. But implementing WBLCA comes with challenges: data gaps, tool limitations, varying methodologies, and industry inertia.

This webinar brings together leading Australian design, engineering, and consulting professionals to share firsthand experiences applying WBLCA in real-world projects. You’ll hear how they’ve overcome hurdles, delivered measurable carbon reductions, and helped shift sustainability from ambition to execution.

Join us to uncover what’s working, where the friction points are, and how practitioners are pushing the boundaries of low-carbon design.

What will you learn?

How leading firms integrate WBLCA into design and engineering for real-world impact
The most common implementation challenges: from data and cost pressures to client education and tool limitations
How to deal with variability in WBLCA methodologies and ensure credible, consistent results
How early-stage carbon comparisons can shape aggressive yet achievable project targets
Real-world examples of projects that achieved significant embodied carbon reductions — and how they did it
What innovations, industry shifts, and policy changes are needed to accelerate WBLCA adoption and scale climate action in the built environment
The future of WBLCA in Australia: emerging tools, trends, and policy shifts
Live Q&A
