Solutions for Low Carbon and Circular Fit-Outs

The future of interior design is low carbon and circular. With the average office and retail fit-out having a shelf life of less than seven years, it is paramount systems are designed to adapt for future uses.

This mandate can be daunting. How do we balance the adoption of low-carbon materials with building systems that are sufficiently durable to withstand multiple life cycles? How can we ensure the spaces we create now are ready for the future?

In this 1 hour webinar, Ged Finch speaks to the practical implementation of these ideas, drawing from more than 30 large-scale fit-out projects delivered by XFrame over the past two years, all designed to meet the requirements of upfront low-carbon outlay and long-term suitability for reuse.

Key learning outcomes of this webinar brought to you by Abodo:

• The role circularity has to play in achieving our embodied carbon targets for commercial spaces, retail, office, and shop fitouts.
• Understanding the need to balance material carbon costs, material durability, and standardisation to achieve long-term emissions reduction targets.
• Evaluating materials for low-carbon design based on their whole-of-life and multi-life cycle merits.
• Processes for optimising the design of spaces based on carbon and waste data.
• Spatial design characteristics of retail and office spaces for effective real-world circularity.
