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.

This workshop offers a unique opportunity to enhance your expertise in sustainable building practices, positioning you at the forefront of environmentally conscious construction. Whether you’re a builder, designer, or consultant, the insights and tools you’ll gain are directly applicable to your projects, helping you make informed decisions that benefit both the environment and your bottom line.
