This webinar brings together Carbon Wise to explore the role of embodied carbon and the growing use of mass timber in Canadian construction. 

We'll begin by clarifying key definitions like Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and embodied carbon. Next, we'll map out the policy landscape, from federal initiatives to provincial codes and local government action. Finally, we'll dive into a real-world case study comparing a mass timber vs. concrete fire hall, highlighting both carbon impacts and cost drivers.

This webinar is designed for industry professionals looking to stay ahead of BC's evolving building policies. We will break down the BC Energy Step Code and Zero Carbon Step Code, explore how electrification and heat pumps are transforming building design, and walk through real-world case studies that show how high-performance homes are being built today.
