Path to Zero Carbon

Virtual

This session qualifies for 1.5 LU/HSW and 1.5 hr Zero Net Carbon Design Mandatory Continuing Education (live webinar attendees only). The Path To Zero Carbon Series explores research and solutions for one of the most significant challenges of the 21st century. Addressing the climate crisis requires the building industry to reach carbon neutral design and construction across all projects. Our industry is responsible for nearly half of global warming, so our actions to reduce these emissions have a massive impact. Global warming is caused primarily by CO2e, but what do we need to know to have useful conversations on CO2e instead of just talking energy efficiency? What resources, policies, and frameworks are out there on embodied carbon operational carbon? This webinar will address these questions and more to understand the path forward to zero carbon.
