The Embodied Carbon Exchange is our latest initiative, join us for this bi-monthly group discussion event that connects a diverse range of building industry stakeholders, including architects, structural engineers, developers, manufacturers, policy makers, and sustainability consultants. Our focus is on open-ended, informal discussions about real-world, on-the-ground problems related to reducing embodied carbon in building construction projects.

The reuse of buildings has the potential to unlock significant savings in the upfront emissions associated with construction. How can we make the case for this work, and by going down this route, what sort of savings can we unlock?
In this presentation, we’ll hear two case studies of success, as well as the carbon savings associated with this work.

Join Jacob Racusin of New Frameworks and Chris Magwood of Builders for Climate Action for a critical look at our practices that have endeavoured to embed justice and belonging alongside the highest goals for building health, efficiency, and carbon storage in projects - for the purpose of workshopping how our industry can scale carbon storage and justice, rapidly, to address climate justice.
Rapid progress is being made to recognize the opportunities to minimize embodied emissions. These emissions are overwhelmingly produced from manufacturers’ processes and supply chains. Join flooring manufacturer Interface, a renowned sustainable business, to understand how you can play an important role in holding manufacturers accountable for these emissions. Manufacturers have the power to transform building material supply chains until they become a solution that helps us reverse global warming.

Who would win at the sustainability olympics? Team safer materials or team low carbon products? What if, instead of competing, these two powerhouses worked together? In our upcoming webinar, attendees will hear from experts about the key drivers of material health and embodied carbon using flooring products (carpet and resilient flooring) and drywall products as examples. We will translate those drivers into actionable guidance for project teams to select healthy, low carbon products.

How Low Can We Go? The Future of Embodied Carbon Reductions (T41)
Location: Level 200 (Room 208/209)
As we look to the future, how can we further reduce the embodied carbon of our buildings? If the future of the planet depends on getting to net zero as quickly as possible, how do we dramatically reduce embodied carbon?
