About this episode
In order to achieve zero carbon goals, we need to measure both operational and embodied carbon impacts, for short and tall buildings. Different densities indeed pose different challenges. In this episode we're speaking with Philip Oldfield (Associate Professor at UNSW) about:
— the challenges for sustainability in high-rise and mid-rise buildings
- What are the solutions on offer to reduce embodied carbon impacts
- What are the most important design aspects to get right with timber
If you want to learn more about designing or building with timber, I recommend you go to the WoodSolutions Website and download the Technical Design Guides:

I recommend watching the WoodSolutions weekly webinars. Previous recordings can be found on the WoodSolutions website:
