As we move towards net zero together, we know it is essential to look at ways to reduce embodied carbon. AIQS and GBCA are delighted to hold this joint webinar in which our expert speakers will engage in robust discussion on carbon budgets, and the challenges and approaches of reducing embodied carbon into projects. We will also examine the importance of having quality and up-to-date Australian-based data that quantity surveying professionals can use to accurately quantify and benchmark embodied carbon.
