Large construction projects contribute significantly to global carbon emissions and are as such increasingly scrutinised for their carbon footprints. This presents designers with the opportunity to critically review business as usual and if such assumptions are fully justified, and to identify better ways of designing for fire safety.  

This presentation introduces a case study based on Copenhagen’s M5 metro line, examining how tunnel fire safety design can evolve in response to sustainability goals. It showcases several fire safety features that have been either removed or significantly re-designed as part of a sustainability-led approach. 

At the same time, it highlights features that were identified as essential and irreplaceable, retained despite their carbon impact due to their critical importance to life safety.

The presentation aims to demonstrate that disciplines often perceived as having a minimal role in carbon reduction, such as fire safety engineering, can, in fact, contribute meaningfully to sustainability targets while continuing to meet core safety objectives.
