There are many great low-embodied carbon materials, and great tools to evaluate and quantify their impact.  So what’s stopping us from only building low-carbon buildings? Some of the most challenging aspects of reducing embodied carbon involve developing a good strategy for conducting the analysis, integrating the strategy into a design or construction workflow, and making sure the right people get the information they need to make better decisions. This training is designed for practitioners of all firm and project sizes in architecture, engineering, consulting, and contracting.

Through a blend of discussion and presentation, this training will focus on optimizing your practice for low-carbon outcomes. 

Topics include goal establishment, developing a strategy for efficient carbon analysis, different types of embodied carbon analysis throughout a design and construction process, developing a “tool stack”, data visualization and communication, and identifying and overcoming social barriers to conducting technical work.

Participants will leave this training with the ability to:

• Establish a framework for conducting embodied carbon analysis efficiently
• Integrate this analysis seamlessly into their workflow
• Communicate analysis results effectively to a variety of stakeholders, enabling actionable results for low-carbon outcomes
