Скачать или смотреть Embodied Carbon: What Is It and How Do We Reduce It in Home Construction? | Home + Energy Chats

What is embodied carbon, and what can we do to reduce it in new construction? The BEAM estimator is a tool that is making it easier for architects, designers, and builders to calculate the carbon impact of various building materials–in other words, the amount of carbon generated during the manufacture, transportation and installation of materials. We also learned about TimberHP, a Maine company developing a carbon negative insulation product line.
