“Easy” Wins for Embodied Carbon Reduction @ Virtual
Jan 31 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]There are many opportunities to reduce the embodied carbon of your building’s design, but it can be hard to know where to start. Questions such as “What tools do I use?” “What if I’ve already started design?” “How much will this all cost?” can easily stand in the way of taking action. In this presentation, we will present a variety of proven strategies to reduce embodied carbon that can be implemented into your next – or even your current – project without requiring extensive LCA modeling. If you are looking to start implementing low carbon solutions into your building and are looking for some strategies to get started, this is the presentation for you. Opportunities in the design process, in material selection, and in project specifications will all be addressed, as well as your questions. Join us and start reducing your project’s embodied carbon footprint today![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
