Two Webinars on Building’s Life Carbon Emissions Modeling

Join us on Wednesday 24 April and 29 May for the webinars on Building’s Life Carbon Emissions Modeling.

As part of the DYNAMIC RENOWAVE Project activities and inline with the new EU Energy for Building Performance Directive, we are investigating modeling approaches for life cycle carbon emissions for buildings. Firstly, to define common GHG emission accounting conditions to assess embodied and operation emissions. Secondly, define a initial carbon emissions modeling framework that can allow comparing the building emissions in a consisten way worldwide. Several meetings and discussions took place between September 2023 and March 2024 between the Renowave project consortium to identify a systematic methodology for assessing the GHG emissions in buildings and enable the comparative evaluation of carbon reduction measures and technologies. The webinar will share some insights on common calculation methods based on existing standards and and in line with IPCC emissions assessment apprach. The webinar is meant to open a discussion about carbon emissions modeling in the building sector and reflect on RENOWAVE initial framework.

Together with a new team of Ph.D. students Aurora Luigia Teresa Bertini and Maxime Dasse and scientists including Prof. André Stephan, prof. Émilie Gobbo and prof. Shady Attia, we are collaboration on the DYNAMIC RENOWAVE Project. The project client and funding type is from the FNRS PDR.

About the speakers

Steffen Petersen is professor and building engineer at Aarhus University in Denmarkwith 10 years of experience working as a consulting engineer in professional practice. Today, he conducts research and teaches in the practical and socially relevant topics within building science, with a particular focus on methods, tools, and technologies for resource-efficient design and operation of buildings, promoting indoor environments that supports health, well-being, comfort, and productivity.

Shady Attia is a professor of sustainable architecture and building technology at Liege University. His research interests include the computational modelling, analysis and monitoring of the building performance of the domestic and commercial building stock, development of building analysis models, delivery of retrofit strategies and the application of GHG emissions reduction policy and decision support for sustainable high performance buildings design.

✅ Your participation is more than welcome and can contribute to a fruitful discussion.
