Synopsis

The session explores the transformative potential of the new CALGreen embodied carbo measures taking effect this year. It is critically important that our industry uses this as an opportunity to accelerate decarbonization and achieve true environmental impact reductions from business-as-casual on our collective journey to net zero. 

This session will use case studies to delve into defining baselines, discuss whole-building and material-specific approaches to reducing embodied carbon, and share actionable strategies to meet and exceed requirements. This presentation aims to empower designers, builders, and material suppliers to innovate and implement low-carbon practices across California’s construction landscape. 

Join us to shape a future where every building project not only complies with the latest code but also contributes positively to environmental stewardship through strategic embodied carbon management.
