Join Westminster City Council Senior Whole Life Carbon Officer Ian Poole and ASBP CEO Simon Corbey for a ‘talking heads’ webinar on Whole Life Carbon and the Circular Economy at Westminster City Council.
Ian Poole is a chartered structural engineer and environmentalist who specialises in whole life carbon and the circular economy. Ian currently splits his time working for Westminster City Council and Elliott Wood and is currently leading the development of a ‘Planning Application Carbon Evaluation and Reduction’ platform (PACER); a collaboration between Westminster City Council and ASBP member Preoptima.
Discussions will include:
- The policy context for Whole Life Carbon assessments and Circular Economy statements at WCC.
- When such assessments are required? And is policy lagging behind industry best practice?
- In a milestone decision we will discuss the first development to be refused on circular economy grounds.
- Policies which are under development and might be on the horizon? Are carbon limits imminent?
- How the PACER platform is going to improve the WLCA submission and review system?
- What other initiatives the council are developing to support retrofit and reuse?
- The new carbon offset pricing for fossil fuels and electricity? And does this apply to embodied carbon reductions?
