Description
Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2024 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Phoenix, Arizona. This course includes the following components:
- recording of the live session
- a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions
- two surveys required to claim continuing education credit
Description
In an effort to increase awareness and reduce the embodied carbon impacts of the building enclosure, this presentation will share research into current enclosure materials and systems, compare various enclosure systems to understand their relative carbon impacts from one to another, and highlight gaps in the critical data needed to calculate whole building life cycle analyses. The presentation will start by introducing environmental product declarations (EPDs) and their governing product category rules (PCRs) and will conclude by providing participants a glimpse into where the industry is headed in regard to future code and legislation requirements for low-carbon materials.

Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
- Highlight the key documents used to track embodied carbon, including Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Product Category Rules (PCRs), including an explanation of Scope 1, 2, & 3 emissions.
- Recall the main elements contributing to the building enclosure’s embodied carbon.
- Identify steps to integrate presented research into enclosure material and systems, including hotspots for high-carbon materials, enclosure system types that are lagging in available product data, and various material and system benchmark comparisons.
- Discuss ongoing and upcoming carbon-focused code and legislation initiatives that are affecting building enclosure materials, as well as action items to improve the carbon tracking for projects.
