Sofa Session - Whole-Life Cycle’ approach to low embodied carbon in school projects

11 Nov 2026
Government of Ireland Stand
This session is based on a panel discussion on the key issues, including challenges and opportunities, in relation to a ‘Whole-Life Cycle’ approach to low embodied carbon in the design and construction of school projects. The participant panellists include specialist sustainability consultants, architectural designers and a building envelope product manufacturer, who bring valuable insights to this subject from each of their perspectives. It is envisaged that this will also be an interactive session with some of the time set aside for audience participation.
