This event will highlight ongoing or completed projects, current trends or technologies, and highlight successes, opportunities, or barriers in reducing the embodied carbon footprint of buildings.

Each speaker will touch on some of the following questions:

• How have teams in the bay area addressed embodied carbon?
• What specific strategies have they used?
• What steps have teams taken during the design process?
• How do they establish a baseline or evaluate alternatives?
• How do teams go about procuring and accounting for low-carbon materials?

Speakers:
