Automating and embedding life cycle assessment in the process of commercial retrofit
The project
Danielle investigates the retrofitting of non-domestic buildings which helps to reduce energy use in the UK. More specifically, her interest revolves around the possibility of automating the process, allowing for quicker design and implementation of building retrofit.
She is also examining the effect of accounting for embodied carbon within retrofit design and whether this would discourage or encourage the demolition of existing buildings.
