The built environment is responsible for approximately 40% of carbon emissions in the industrialised world. As we move towards a carbon neutral society, the construction community needs to provide more efficient buildings. We know that early-stage decisions have the largest impact on the energy use of a building. So we need tools that work with the knowledge available at these stages, and with the people involved in the project at this point.

ZEBRA is a free, novel and simple tool for modelling the energy and carbon performance of buildings.

This short-term IAA funded role is to continue the development of our ZEBRA suite of software and to make attempts to encourage its use, with in part the idea of creating a REF impact case study. The first task will be to mesh zebra into design studio work.
