Show Notes

Henry McDonald interviews Gilbert Lennox-King, a co-founder of Construction Carbon to investigate how you can measure and offset embodied carbon. 

Construction Carbon offers a simple way to assess, reduce & offset embodied carbon. Gilbert will get down to the basics by explaining exactly what is embodied carbon.

I think there’s quite a large demand and a growing demand for what we are doing that is from developers who want to be recognised for basically calculating, reducing making better procurement decisions around the embodied carbon, we see that only going going to increase as the provenance of Leti benchmarks become more widely known as people become more educated.
