Webinar: Better Design Through Embodied Carbon with Precast Concrete

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED FOR THIS WEBINAR

Presented By: PCI WEST

Now that architects have a good understanding of environmental impacts related to energy use, the next design frontier in tackling climate change is reducing the embodied carbon in buildings. This presentation will focus on best practices for determining the embodied carbon in a building, including credible sources for embodied carbon data. It will introduce common practices and misconceptions about comparisons of embodied carbon. A case study will be presented that highlights how design decisions may be influenced when comparing among up-front carbon, use-phase carbon, or whole-life carbon. The presentation will highlight existing tools related to quantifying embodied carbon.

Learning Objectives:
-Participants will be able to identify credible sources for embodied carbon data.
-Participants will learn instances when the embodied carbon of systems should not be compared.
-Participants will understand pitfalls related to short-cuts or estimates of embodied carbon.
-Participants will learn how to determine the embodied carbon in their buildings.
