Collectively, buildings in the EU are responsible for 40% of our energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions, stemming from construction, usage, renovation and demolition.
By adopting a whole lifecycle approach, the framework addresses the huge potential for carbon emission reductions and resource re-use in buildings, nudging the market towards a clean and circular economy.
The Level(s) learning programme is designed for all the stakeholders working across a building’s lifecycle in Europe, featuring practical case studies to provide ‘real life’ context for sustainability professionals; asset designers, owners and investors, as well as policymakers and public authorities.
“Arup is proud to support the European Commission with the Level(s) e-learning course: it will enable a range of players across the real estate value chain to learn more about the principles behind the designing and running of sustainable buildings, a step change on our collective journey towards net zero”, according to Susana Saiz, who leads Arup’s Sustainability and Energy Consulting team in Spain.
