Designing for Circularity

Description

Designing for Circularity is a dedicated CPD which places nature at the heart of the built environment. It explores how we can use the circular economy to improve the relationship between construction and nature.

By the end of the seminar, you will better understand how climate change and the built environment are linked, what the circular economy is, how it compares to the traditional linear economy and what opportunities it presents in the construction industry.

The CPD will then look at some of the guidance that has been published, which you can refer to, to support your decision-making. The CPD then explores the built environment and how to design for circularity, topics covered include: Building end-of-life, design, retrofit and operation, Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), product design, EPDs, material health, and responsible production and consumption.
