The construction industry is at a pivotal moment, with increasing attention on reducing embodied carbon — the carbon footprint associated with the materials and processes used in building projects. To address this pressing issue, we are excited to launch our exclusive webinar series dedicated to exploring embodied carbon and its impact on sustainable construction.
Why does embodied carbon matter?
Embodied carbon encompasses the total carbon emissions generated throughout the lifecycle of building materials, from extraction through manufacturing, transportation, and construction. As the industry shifts towards more sustainable practices, understanding and managing embodied carbon is essential for reducing our environmental impact and meeting global climate goals.
What to expect from our webinar series
Our comprehensive webinar series is designed to provide construction professionals with in-depth knowledge, practical strategies, and the latest updates on embodied carbon. Each session will focus on different aspects of the topic, helping you stay ahead in the evolving landscape of sustainable construction.
