1. Understand what embodied carbon is and its importance in the built environment.
2. Learn the economic, competitive, and environmental advantages of buildings that consider and reduce embodied carbon impacts.
3. Explore embodied carbon reduction strategies beyond procuring low carbon material, and how mass timber systems can drive and complement these strategies.
4. Examine projects that have successfully implemented and paired mass timber systems and embodied carbon reduction strategies.
Summary:
This presentation explores the role of embodied carbon in the built environment and the economic, competitive, environmental, and long-term “future-proofing” advantages of reducing its impact. Mass timber is uniquely positioned to advance embodied carbon reduction strategies due to its inherent carbon, construction, and social benefits, enhancing strategies such as adaptability, deconstructability, and long service life. Through real-world project examples, attendees will gain insight into effective approaches for integrating mass timber systems to drive meaningful embodied carbon reductions beyond just low-carbon material procurement.
