LEEP Embodied Carbon for Low-Rise Construction Workshop

Description

Join us for an important Embodied Carbon Workshop designed to provide industry professionals with a quick snapshot of both operational and embodied carbon emissions in home construction. This hands-on workshop will guide you through the process of assessing and reducing the carbon footprint of homes in your region, using real-world examples and advanced tools.

What You’ll Learn:

• Understanding Embodied Carbon: Gain a solid foundation in the key terms, concepts, and data related to embodied carbon in home building.
• Using the MCE2 Tool: Learn how to navigate NRCan’s Material Carbon Emissions Estimator (MCE2) tool to identify which home components contribute most to embodied carbon, and how the tool can be used to reduce the initial carbon impacts of the home through material trade-offs.
• Case Study Analysis: Dive into a practical case study of a typical Canadian home, exploring strategies for reducing its carbon impact through material trade-offs.
