Tamar Warburg will present with Chris Hardy. We developed the Carbon Conscience tool together as part of a Sasaki research grant.
Proposed Session Description
Transform your practice by taking responsibility for the carbon footprint of your work. This session reviews existing tools and frameworks, from planning scale to site and garden design, integrating metrics from both architecture and landscape design, including Sasaki's new Carbon Conscience: Embodied Carbon Planning Tool incorporating both architecture and landscape at the site planning level. Panelists will share their findings from translating primary research into accessible tools and best practices, with examples from planning, architecture and landscape projects.
Diversity and Inclusiveness
Our panel is diverse in terms of gender.
Learning Objectives
Gain a general understanding of the key concepts of emissions, embodied carbon, operational carbon, life-cycle-analysis, and natural carbon sequestration. Learn new strategies to reduce embodied carbon emissions at the planning level, including architecture and landscape.
Understand the potential to balance carbon emissions with carbon stored and sequestered in building and landscape materials.
Estimate carbon emissions, storage and sequestration in landscape site planning, including selecting land uses, plant typologies, and construction materials.
Estimate carbon emissions, storage and sequestration in architecture site planning, including selecting program typologies, structural systems, and number of floors above and below ground.
