This revealed that the project is on track to achieve embodied emissions well below industry targets, evidencing the carbon benefit of retaining and renewing existing structures rather than building new. Planned upgrades to the building fabric and systems will also substantially reduce operational emissions, accelerating progress to net zero carbon.
