    Sound building design can reduce #EmbodiedCarbon, even when lacking sufficient Life Cycle analysis data and tools. This video addresses reality. How building design and #construction materials accelerate #ClimateChange. How simply meeting building code proforma and low-carbon policy is not enough. Smart low-carbon design is required. See how building designs can ignore embodied emissions, and how unreliable Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) data can defeat low-carbon #BuildingMaterials selection. Watch this short-course on how to cut embodied carbon immediately.
