Embodied Carbon Matters: Professional Development Seminar
July 6, 2021 @ 11:30 am - 1:30 pm
Free
Between 2020 and 2050, the carbon embodied in building materials is expected to be 49% of total new construction carbon emissions. Considering carbon during the entire life cycle of buildings and their constituent materials is thus a vitally important task in reducing global climate change. Speakers will provide an overview of considerations related to embodied carbon in building materials, strategies for selecting lower-carbon materials and emerging ideas about an embodied carbon marketplace.
Speakers
- Martin Torres, Graduate Engineer, Austin Energy Green Building
- Brian Just, Manager, Engineering, VEIC
- Dr. Wil V. Srubar III, Associate Professor, University of Colorado Boulder, Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering
