Introduction

Sustainable construction requires verified whole-life performance rather than environmental claims in isolation. Material choice affects embodied carbon, resource depletion, toxicity, durability, maintenance, waste, transport and end-of-life recovery. Construction methods determine whether the intended benefits survive procurement and site delivery.

This five-day course equips professionals to evaluate products and methods using transparent evidence. Participants interpret environmental product declarations, compare low-carbon material options, develop performance specifications and apply circular, off-site and resource-efficient construction strategies. Trade-offs among carbon, service life, cost, health and constructability are addressed through lifecycle decision tools and implementation planning.

Objectives

Define measurable construction sustainability outcomes.
Interpret EPD and lifecycle information.
Compare materials using whole-life criteria.
Specify lower-carbon performance requirements.
Apply circular and design-for-disassembly principles.
Evaluate off-site construction methods.
Reduce site waste, energy and logistics impacts.
Develop a sustainable procurement roadmap.
