Aneta is part of Carrig's research department, with a background in Environmental Science.
Aneta graduated from Trinity College Dublin with a first class honours degree in Environmental Science in 2019, in which she took a wide range of modules which improved her skills in statistical analysis, science communication and general research. As part of her undergraduate course, she completed a final year thesis which was heavily based on desktop research, critical analysis of papers and statistical analysis. She is currently working on a project called Understanding Carbon in the Historic Environment under Historic England. The construction industry is responsible for a large amount of carbon emissions but no meaningful data are available on how much of this carbon is due to new buildings and how much is due to older buildings. This project focused on the comparison of the carbon emissions of a refurbished older building with the carbon emissions of a new building to indicate which option may be better in terms of reducing carbon emissions from the industry. This scoping study provided key information on a suitable for tool for building professionals which would enable building professionals to make the more sustainable choice in terms of carbon. |
