Zoom link: https://umn.zoom.us/j/96342784275 Embodied carbon constitutes a significant portion of a building’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and is a key challenge for the architecture, construction, and real estate sectors. Embodied carbon includes construction product manufacturing, building construction, material replacement, and end of life considerations. During the specification and procurement stage, designers and contractors can prioritize products […]
Zoom link: https://umn.zoom.us/j/96342784275 Envelope design and performance considers the intersections between net-zero and net-positive envelopes, systems, and wellbeing: High-performance envelopes are integral to net-positive buildings and require a rigorous approach to thermal, moisture, and materials considerations. Shona O’Dea will consider how IEQ, IAQ, occupant health, and net-positive may be synonymous, and the challenges in accomplishing these […]
