Take a deep dive into what three projects in the Northeast have done to minimize embodied carbon. The example projects have each taken different approaches: one project focused on concrete in an ICF building, one focused on envelope choices and how to meet Passive House requirements while reducing embodied carbon, and one used Life Cycle Assessment to decide between renovation and new construction for existing school buildings. After the case studies, hear about the range of embodied carbon policies in development in Boston, Cambridge, Newton, and across Massachusetts, and discuss policies that can be promoted by the green building community to accelerate change for materials we use to renovate and build.
