Infinito Delicias. Building low-carbon spaces for communities to thrive
SOCOTEC Expert Webinar Series Continues...
This presentation will showcase SOCOTEC's whole-life carbon assessment methodology applied to an award-winning retrofit project in Barcelona – the transformation of an industrial building into the Knowledge House headquarters for the Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation. The session will demonstrate how comprehensive carbon analysis drives sustainable decision-making and delivers measurable environmental benefits.
Key Points:
- Integrated whole-life carbon assessment: combining operational, embodied, and biogenic carbon using recognized standards (EN 15978, EN 15804) and tools (DesignBuilder, One Click LCA)
- Evidence-based sustainability: providing clients with benchmark-referenced data to support funding applications, BREEAM certification, external communications, and award submissions (including Holcim Awards recognition)
- Multi-disciplinary approach: coordinating architectural, engineering, and environmental consultancy expertise to balance ambitious ecological proposals with economic viability
- Real-world application: lessons learned from transforming a complex mixed-use building combining foundation headquarters, office spaces, and coworking facilities
What can you expect?
- In-depth technical insights from a seasoned specialist
- Interactive Ask the Expert Q&A session
- Free access for all attendees
