Embodied Energy www.capem.eu

Energy/Carbon it takes to make a few

common building materials
Titanium is g
good one-as it consumes
vast amounts of energy
iconic Bilbao Art Museum is clad in it!

Having an effect

www.capem.eu

Energy, carbon and that go into and emissions

from making the component parts of a
building/construction are more important
we need to becoming ware of this if we
seriously want to have any effect
effect.
More importantly it can have an immediate
g for long
g term future
effect instead of waiting
energy savings.
Of course we should strive for super efficient
buildings but they are pretty much a drop in
buildings,
the ocean.
The industries that supply the materials are the
bi players
big
l
and
d consumers off energy and
d
generators of carbon

What are the alternative

materials
insight into the range of building
techniques available
thinking
g of materials as p
part of design,
g ,
rather than someone elses problem

What industry is doing

Every day they are all sitting in the
design studios looking out at the Shard
going
g
g up
p
and it makes no sense at all,
but it
its
s held up as Iconic
Iconic Architecture
Architecture .
The downstream CO2 emissions for that
will be enormous!
