In a significant move towards advancing sustainability in the construction sector, EnviroBuild has unveiled its latest Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course, “Embodied Carbon: What Even is an EPD?”.

This initiative marks a pivotal moment in the industry’s journey towards environmental consciousness and sustainability.

EnviroBuild, renowned for its pioneering efforts in sustainable construction, has developed this course to provide comprehensive education on embodied carbon and the crucial role of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in the industry. This comes at a time when the construction sector is undergoing a profound transformation, with an increasing focus on sustainability and reducing environmental impact.

The course is spearheaded by Dr. Aidan Bell, a respected figure in the sustainability realm with nearly two decades of experience. Dr. Bell’s expertise in sustainability and embodied carbon positions this CPD as an essential resource for construction professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of these critical topics.

Dr. Bell emphasises the course’s relevance: “This CPD course equips industry professionals with up-to-date knowledge to keep pace with the rapidly evolving green building industry. It covers life cycle analyses (LCAs) and EPDs in detail, providing practical skills to comprehend and compare EPDs, ultimately aiding in more informed decision-making for future projects.”

EnviroBuild’s mission to lead the sustainable revolution in construction is further solidified with this CPD course. Notably, the company boasts the UK’s first and only EPD for Composite Products, encompassing a wide range of composite materials, as well as an EPD for their Aluminum non-combustible products.

The significance of embodied carbon and EPDs in construction is increasingly recognised. As the industry strives to reduce its environmental footprint and make sustainable choices, EnviroBuild’s CPD course is set to play a crucial role in educating and empowering professionals to contribute positively to these efforts.

EnviroBuild is inviting professionals from the construction industry to partake in the Embodied Carbon CPD course, thus joining the sustainable revolution. Through this course, participants will gain a deeper understanding of embodied carbon and EPDs, enabling them to make informed choices that positively impact the industry’s sustainability initiatives.
