We’re delighted to announce that our popular ‘Moving Earth: Sustainability and Ceramics’ CPD is now accredited by the RIBA.
Sustainability is a central driver in design. As suppliers, it is our responsibility to provide you with accurate information about the products we supply. We want to be as transparent as possible, so we can all reduce our lasting impact on the planet.
Last year, as part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, Ken Graham joined us as Sustainability Manager. Since joining Solus, Ken has been carrying out in-depth analysis and research into the ceramic industry, its processes, and its impact. This presentation comes out of this research, and addresses the climate crisis and the role that ceramics can play in creating sustainable buildings.
The presentation lasts one hour. You will learn how:
- The building materials, design, and construction sector bears great responsibility for reducing embodied carbon and operational carbon footprints.
- The terms and definitions used in the industry are currently confusing; they need to be better understood, corrected, and communicated.
- Ceramic tiles and best practice installation processes can help reduce the carbon footprint of buildings, from construction, maintenance, and repurposed material perspectives.
- Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are becoming increasingly important; understanding what they contain, and how they differ, is key when specifying products.
- Proposed amendments to building legalisation to consider the whole-life carbon emissions of buildings will have a major impact on the future of design.
