The Hidden Impact: Understanding Embodied Carbon in Architecture 

This session will delve into the concept of embodied carbon, an essential yet often overlooked component of a building's overall carbon footprint. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of embodied carbon and its critical role in sustainable architecture today. The session will use case studies to explain how changes to raw materials, transportation methods, and manufacturing processes can play a critical role in reducing carbon emissions. By the end of this session, attendees will be equipped with the foundational knowledge required to make informed decisions and effectively communicate the findings of an embodied carbon analysis to their clients.
