Builders for Climate Action
There are many great low-embodied carbon materials, and great tools to evaluate and quantify their impact. So what’s stopping us from only building low-carbon buildings? Some of the most challenging aspects of reducing embodied carbon involve developing a good strategy for conducting the analysis, integrating the strategy into a design or construction workflow, and making sure the right people get the information they need to make better decisions. This training is designed for practitioners of all firm and project sizes in architecture, engineering, consulting, and contracting.
Learn how to use BEAM v1.1
There's no better way to learn how to use BEAM than from the team that built it! Our live, online course is delivered over three 1-1/2hr sessions. You will finish this course with a solid foundation in embodied carbon accounting, a full understanding of how to use BEAM and how to integrate this into your practice!
Learn to use BEAM includes 3 live online delivery sessions with BEAM experts so that you can start using BEAM like a pro in no time!
Through a blend of discussion and presentation, this training will focus on optimizing your practice for low-carbon outcomes. Topics include goal establishment, developing a strategy for efficient carbon analysis, different types of embodied carbon analysis throughout a design and construction process, developing a “tool stack”, data visualization and communication, and identifying and overcoming social barriers to conducting technical work.
