The value of our collaboration with NESEA is evidenced by the broad network of professional colleagues that bring depth and joy to our practice. In fact, Bruce and Tom met through NESEA and this organization is at least in part responsible for the genesis of Coldham & Hartman Architects

Embodied Carbon Network

We have become members of the Embodied Carbon Network with the goal of increasing our capacity and understanding of the importance of embodied carbon in our buildings. As we have decreased operational carbon, and as the clock ticks on atmospheric carbon, the analysis and understanding of design decisions and the resulting carbon impact (or drawdown) becomes critical.
