The building, called The Forge, has been designed in line with the UK Green Building Council’s (UKGBC) net-zero buildings framework and energy performance requirements. The UKGBC framework covers both embodied carbon — the emissions generated in the construction phase of the building, and through the materials used to create it — and operational carbon, emissions produced throughout the building’s use-phase. Most previous definitions, frameworks and certifications account only for the latter.
