About the Training

Building on the foundational knowledge of carbon emissions in the built environment, this course focuses on practical applications in design and construction practice. Participants will learn how to set carbon reduction goals, define key success metrics, and integrate carbon analysis into their workflows. The course will cover methodologies for conducting carbon assessments, available tools and databases for embodied carbon analysis, and strategies for aligning procurement decisions with emissions reduction goals. Case studies and facilitated discussions will help participants identify barriers and opportunities within their own practice, ensuring they leave with a clear, actionable plan for implementing carbon reduction strategies in their projects.

This is the eighth session of the Materials Matter: Embodied Carbon & The Path to Healthier Buildings training series. Join the series to explore the connections between climate, human health, and the circular economy—transforming the way we design and build for a better future.

This training is eligible for 2 AIA LU / HSW continuing education credits. AIA membership information will be collected from attendees by BE+ during the training.

This is a live, online training led by Jacob Deva Racusin with New Frameworks.
