Applying our Circular Twin process to a baseline 2FE school built in 2017, we achieved*

*All within standard budgetary parameters

67%

reduction in whole life carbon

72%

reduction in up front embodied carbon

(48% reduction in lifecycle EC) (Note: this meets the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge target < 500kgCO2/m2)

52%

reduction in annual energy consumption

39%

reduction in forest consumption

(for products and 30-year UK offset)

The process behind those results

The important factor to consider in the Circular Twin project is that this is a research project into the process, looking in more detail at how existing processes can be changed in which to reduce Whole Life Carbon.
