Phlorum in Egypt

Published on 31-08-2010 by Dr Paul Beckett

Momentum and excitement is building on the launch of our Life-cycle carbon footprinting design tool. Anthony is heading to Cairo in September to present the model at the Conference of Non-Conventional Materials and Technologies (NOCMAT) 2010. The paper to be presented, ‘Accounting for the life-cycle carbon emissions of new dwellings in the UK’, will then be included in the conference proceedings.
The NOCMAT conference aims to provide an international forum for information dissemination, discussions and debates on research and practice in a range of sustainable and innovative construction materials and technologies. The aim is to exhibit the model on an international stage to aid in validation, and take suggestions on improvement from academics and professionals in construction from all over the world.
