EPISODE 16: EMBODIED CARBON IN RESIDENTIAL BUILDING MATERIALS
This session will look at embodied carbon in residential construction – in other words, the amount of carbon generated during the manufacture, transportation and installation of materials – and what we can do to reduce it. We’ll review a new tool, the BEAM estimator, that is making it easier for anyone to calculate the carbon impact of various building materials. And we’ll hear about a new Maine company, GO Lab, that is creating a high performance building product line that is carbon negative. Mark your calendars for this exciting session and join us on December 6th.
