Embodied Carbon in the Built Environment

Join us to learn about embodied carbon in the built environment, which is defined as the cumulative carbon emissions associated with building materials (extraction, manufacture, and transportation) used in a building as well as the emissions associated with erecting the building. We'll discuss how embodied carbon is measured and how it compares with operational carbon emissions, which are associated with the heating, cooling, lighting, and operation of the building. Lastly, we'll cover strategies for reducing embodied emissions through design and innovative materials and techniques. More details to come.

This will be an in-person event in the Community Room at Odell Brewing in Fort Collins. Networking at 6 pm followed by the presentation and Q&A starting at 6:30.
