1 Embodied Carbon & Life Cycle Considerations in Building Structures WALSH Seminar June 7 th & 8th, 2016 Frances Yang, SE, LEED AP BD+C Structures and Materials Specialist Energy + Resources Group
2 Global Engineering Designer Multi-disciplinary services 10,000+ Employees Leader in sustainability Established Offices 33 Countries 2
3 Course Summary Embodied carbon is often neglected yet found to be critical to address for tackling climate change. Could the rise of mass timber as a construction alternative help us? Recent Arup carbon studies on the two USDA Tall Wood prize buildings offer some design and procurement lessons learned about the life cycle of wood products Learning Objectives Distinguish operational carbon from embodied carbon Identify how timber construction can be an effective strategy to lower embodied carbon Discover where the risks are to using timber as a means to lower embodied carbon Identify immediate actions designers and builders can take to producing lower carbon buildings for all types of construction 3
4 FAQ s Why care about embodied carbon? How about Timber? Is measuring Carbon enough? What can we do? 4
