Construction Carbon and CIBSE will develop a new Lifecycle Carbon Assessor Practitioner Training programme.  

The course, which is supported by Amazon, will enable skilled professionals to assess and mitigate the environmental impact of construction projects throughout their lifecycle. 

A series of online modules will be followed by an examination, after which a formal certificate will be granted to those who successfully complete the formal evaluation element of the course.

The Life Cycle Assessor (LCA) training is in two parts, the foundation level is free and is available for anyone interested in buildings lifecycle assessment to start today here, with over 500 students having completed the training. 

The CIBSE Lifecycle Carbon Assessor Practitioner Training programme was announced at the Futurebuild Conference, with over 180 applicants pre-enrolled. More details and registration for the Lifecycle Carbon Assessment Practitioner Training is available here. 

Gilbert Lennox-King, CEO of Construction Carbon, said: “At Construction Carbon, we are committed to driving positive change in the built environment. This partnership with CIBSE Training, supported by several partners including Amazon and the Laudes Foundation, represents a significant step forward in our mission to simplify decarbonisation within the construction industry. By empowering professionals with the skills to assess lifecycle impacts in a consistent way, we can pave the way for a more sustainable future."

Simon Parker, Managing Director of CIBSE Services, added: "As the demand for sustainable buildings continues to grow, it is essential that professionals possess the expertise to evaluate and improve environmental performance. Building on CIBSE’s other work on the embodied carbon in building services such as TM 65 and TM65.3, this programme will provide participants with the knowledge needed to excel in this crucial aspect of modern construction."
