TRAINING ACTION: Product carbon footprint
October 21-22, 2024
The fight against climate change is the greatest challenge for society in the 21st century. Therefore, society in general, and companies in particular, are undergoing a revolution, a transformation towards a more sustainable, circular and low-carbon model.
In this sense, for companies in the construction sector, having the Carbon Footprint of their Products has become a competitive advantage in national and international markets, since this information is being a differentiating element in specifications for the prescription and contracting of works, both public and private. On the other hand, the new Construction Products Regulation, which will soon be applied, gives special importance to construction products having this type of information.
The development of the training action will provide students with the necessary elements to acquire the knowledge and skills to calculate the Carbon Footprint, in accordance with the UNE EN ISO 14067 standard, and to be able to move from theory to practice, helping to solve the difficulties that the technician faces, both in the calculation of the Carbon Footprint and in the interpretation of the information, as well as being able to identify opportunities for environmental efficiency throughout the product life cycle.
Modality:
Mixed: The student, when registering, can choose to follow the classes in person or via streaming.
The face-to-face training will be carried out at the NOTIO-CTAC facilities (Calle Río Cabriel s/n – Toledo)
The classes will be broadcast via streaming. The recording of the training sessions will be hosted in the virtual training classroom on the NOTIO website, so that registered students can access the recording at any time.
The training documentation will be hosted in the virtual classroom with exclusive access for the student. At the end of the training, a 6-week period will open in which the student will be able to communicate directly with the teacher, in order to resolve any queries regarding the course content or regarding the direct application in their company of the knowledge acquired in the action.
