WEBINAR – Embodied Carbon 101, Healthy Building Webinar Series

The built environment is a large contributor to global carbon dioxide emissions at 42% of the total. Embodied carbon, or the carbon from building materials, accounts for 11% of global emissions (Architecture 2030). Join Kelsey Wotila, Senior Sustainability Project Manager at Foresight Management to learn more about embodied carbon, available tools, and how to analyze it for your projects. No matter your level of understanding of embodied carbon, this webinar is for you. 

In this webinar you will learn: 

• The difference between embodied and operational carbon.
• Why embodied carbon is critical in decarbonization and the Architecture 2030 interim targets for reduction.
• The tools can help design teams lower the embodied carbon of buildings and when to use them in the design process.
• The common challenges to lowering the embodied carbon of buildings and how to overcome them.
