Carbon emissions from construction and operation of buildings constitute a significant proportion of overall emissions in both Ireland and the UK. In Ireland, these emissions account for over a third, with 23% attributed to heating, cooling, and lighting, while the remaining 14% represents embodied emissions. Similarly, in the UK, these emissions amount to around 40%, with embodied carbon contributing roughly 20%, likely to increase significantly by 2035.
