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.
