Life Cycle Assessments: An Introduction to Embodied Carbon

Join Joseph Henke for this in-person workshop on Life Cycle Assessments: An Introduction to Embodied Carbon. Topics covered will include: 

• Operational versus embodied emissions

• What are Environmental Product Declarations (EPDS)

• How ‘massing’ affects life cycle assessments (LCAs)

• What the different scopes of an LCA are

• Available tools to help develop LCAs

• What is happening in Canada today (regulatory landscape)

As Alberta grows, new construction and the renewal of buildings drive emissions associated with the use of building materials.  These emissions can be significant.  Understanding embodied carbon will offer insight into managing and reducing these impacts. 

This workshop is perfect for builders, developers, owners, architects, engineers, consultants, suppliers, building officials, energy advisors and  and other professionals in the building, construction and renovation industry in Alberta.
