Embodied Carbon Calculation Tools
Event Information
About this event
Globally, the building and construction sectors account for nearly 40% of global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in constructing and operating buildings (including the impacts of upstream power generation). Current building codes address operating energy but do not typically address the impacts of embodied carbon in building materials and products.
Join us on Wednesday, February 23 at 6:30 PM for an online technical training on using the embodied carbon accounting tools: BEAM and EC3. Hear from industry experts and practical skills while using these essential tools in calculating embodied carbon.
Question and answer session will take place following the presentations. The event will be recorded and a linmk to the recording will be provided to all registrants following the event.

NORTHWEST ECOBUILDING GUILD
The Northwest EcoBuilding Guild is a 501(c)(3) community of builders, designers, suppliers, homeowners, and partners concerned with high performance building in the Pacific Northwest. The Guild empowers people through education to transform the built environment for long term sustainability. We consider the needs of the seventh generation in all that we do.
We are committed to serving as a resource for professionals, officials, and the public. Our members demonstrate how we address change in our environment with innovative building practices. We adopt new technologies, safer and more efficient materials, and share our experiences with one another. The Guild has now grown to chapters serving Portland OR, Seattle, Bellingham, Tacoma and Olympia WA. Join today and champion the new era of building as a member of the Guild.
The Guild was founded in 1993 by a small group of professionals already incorporating green building ideas into their practices. They formed the Guild in order to network, learn and exchange ideas related to their areas of expertise.
