Embodied carbon & deep retrofits A Reframed Tech Series webinar
Jul. 22, 2020 10:30am - 12:00pm PDT webinar - Public event
The Pembina Institute, in association with the Reframed Initiative, presents the Reframed Tech Series — webinars on evolving deep retrofit solutions.
As we respond to the climate emergency, it is important to acknowledge that carbon emissions are not limited to the operational life of a building. The emissions associated with the manufacturing, transportation, construction, and end-of-life phases of building materials, systems, and assemblies — commonly referred to as embodied carbon — also need to be taken into account by retrofit projects. (Download a primer on embodied carbon and deep retrofits.)
Watch our fifth webinar to hear from leaders in embodied carbon and retrofit solutions. Learn about novel ideas and projects underway, and hear about the opportunities and challenges of implementing embodied carbon solutions in building retrofits.
