Carbon Storing Building Challenge
Scaling bio-based building materials beyond specialty projects or custom homes is possible and promises healthier outcomes for people, ecosystems, and the climate. In order to test feasibility and potential benefits, a team of architects, builders, and engineers designed a prototype of a building that could realistically exist in Alameda County.
System Comparisons
The following studies have been conducted by firms and researchers around the globe, looking into the embodied carbon of various building systems. Over time, we plan to populate this with examples from the Bay Area.
