Content Description

Embodied Carbon and the Building Envelope, 2024
CEU: 0.1 | CEU Code: KI-EN-169202-0925

In the fight against climate change, efforts intensify against the planet's number one enemy'carbon dioxide. The building industry will play a significant role in these efforts. Embodied carbon'the global greenhouse gas emissions generated from sourcing raw material and processing, manufacturing, transporting, and installing building materials'will be the target over the next decade. This course will define embodied carbon, its impact on greenhouse gas emissions, the construction industry's impact, and the methods and tools that building designers can employ to limit embodied carbon.

Learning Objectives

  • Recall how the building sector contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Explain what embodied carbon is and its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Discover the importance of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2030.
  • Describe how life cycle assessments (LCAs) are conducted.
  • Explain what an environmental product declaration (EPD) is and how it is used to calculate embodied carbon impacts.
