Viewpoint: Carbon lifecycle assessment: an overview

This paper describes a case study on the whole life carbon cycle of a warehouse building in Swindon, UK.

Letters this month include discussions on the carbon embodiment in buildings, builder's design software, structural assessment of LPS and concerns between timber safe load tables.

A regenerative approach to design will require structural engineers to reimagine their relationship with the world around them, argue Anna Beckett and Steven Edge of the IStructE Structural Futures Committee.
