This chapter will describe embodied carbon and some of the challenges driving the need for a standardised approach.
• Definition of embodied carbon and some of the issues surrounding the extent and limit of its scope
• Impact of zero‐carbon regulations on the embodied carbon within buildings;
• Approaches to reduce embodied carbon within buildings.
• Embodied carbon forms the significant part of low‐operational assets such as infrastructure and stadiums;
• Voluntary means and legislation will be in place to reduce the embodied carbon of buildings;
• To properly assess the true embodied‐carbon impact of a material, a life‐ cycle view must be taken
