Home Checklists Design and material selection
The design principles, operational decisions and selection of materials and products will significantly impact the carbon emissions of a fit out project. Their impact on the environment will continue throughout the entire life cycle of your building.

Consider undertaking an energy model, such as TM54 or NABERS to better understand the anticipated operational energy requirements of your space. Work with your project team to model alternative engineering solutions to drive down energy intensity.

Embodied carbon is the CO2 (and other greenhouse gases) emitted during the extraction, manufacture, transportation and assembly of materials and products. It makes up around 10% of all global emissions each year.
Materials must be carefully considered and low embodied carbon products can be selected to ensure you significantly reduce the impact of your fit out project.
Timber acts as a carbon sink - it prevents CO2 being released back into the atmosphere. Therefore, as long as your timber is sustainably sourced, the more timber you use in your fit out, the better.
