BEGINS the event blurb: “Join Architects Climate Action Network (ACAN) to learn from experts about different types of low-carbon foundations and the benefits of using them.
“We will explore the decision-making process around choosing a foundation solution, as well as structural philosophies, all illustrated with a multitude of case studies!
“Building structures contain on average around 50% of the upfront embodied carbon, with a significant proportion of that in the foundations. We’ll explore a range of alternatives to typical concrete foundations that are far lower in carbon than standard.”
