Synopsis
Over the past decade, embodied carbon emerged as a critical factor to consider in the planning and construction of buildings. Embodied carbon represents the millions of tons of Earth-warming carbon emissions released during the life cycle of building products. Given the scale of the sector’s climate impact, it is imperative that owners, designers, builders, manufacturers, and policymakers lead the market by prioritizing this issue.
