Looking for some inspiration before submitting your application to the 2024 BC Embodied Carbon Awards?
Our next CLF BC webinar features Discover Montessori, the Large Buildings category winner at the 2023 BC Embodied Carbon Awards. Learn more about this award-winning project that used embodied carbon as a key decision-making tool for building design.
As of Oct 1, 2023, the City of Vancouver’s Building Bylaws include an embodied carbon requirement for large (Part 3) buildings. To comply with the requirement, two pathways are possible: the absolute and baseline paths. If choosing the absolute path, the project cannot exceed 800 kg CO2e/m2 (double the benchmark intensity of 400 kgCO2e/m2). If pursuing a baseline path, projects can define a project-specific, functionally equivalent baseline to measure against, and cannot be more than double the baseline.
The Embodied Carbon Exchange is our newest 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.
