The Race to Net Zero: How to Impact Your Project’s Total Carbon Emissions

Reducing the Embodied Carbon of Your Projects

Embodied carbon (kgCO2e) is the carbon released from the total primary energy consumed during resource extraction, transportation, manufacturing, and product fabrication. Implementing data-driven solutions to better analyze their projects' carbon impact is a rapidly growing aspect of renovation projects. In this 60-minute session, we will showcase the workflow for your next project with embodied carbon and operational carbon and outline various methods through case studies on how to reach net-zero carbon.
