Our Sponsor and Speaker – Natasha Watson, Embodied Carbon Lead – UK Structures, Buro Happold  

After completing her doctorate in low impact building materials in 2016, Natasha Watson has become one of the experts leading the development of knowledge on the embodied impacts of construction materials within the construction industry as well as on Buro Happold projects. Natasha’s goal is to develop and deliver Buro Happold’s advisory and consultancy service in the area of Embodied Carbon over and above our own dedication to reducing embodied carbon as a company and is delighted to be sharing her expertise and insights at the Future Leap Net Zero: coping with scoping event.

Natasha’s talk summary:

Alongside setting our goals and understanding what to measure for Scope 3, we need to actively reduce the carbon emissions we create.  Operational carbon emissions per kWh of energy we use is on a downward trend typically because of increased renewables and increasingly efficient systems.  This means that focusing on embodied carbon will have a more significant impact on reducing our emissions.  Natasha will give a quick introduction into what embodied carbon is as well as key rules of thumb for how to reduce it on your building projects.
