LETI Embodied Carbon overlay
The LETI Embodied Carbon Primer; Supplementary guidance to the Climate Emergency Design Guide is represents LETI’sunderstanding of how designers need to be designing to meet the climate change targets in 2020. It is intended the primer will evolve over time, reflecting changes in carbon budgets, technologies and the capability of industry.
It outlines in detail the magnitude and challenges and the approach taken by LETI to establish guidance. It also summarises the actions to be taken at each RIBA design stage as well as the requirements of four key UK building archetypes in relation to embodied carbon reductions.
