Description:
Because the built environment is a major contributor to climate change—creating 40% of the world’s CO2 emissions—it is the responsibility of architects, engineers, and owners to target net-zero energy and net-zero carbon building designs. This course, part of a seven-part series, will examine both operational and embodied carbon emissions generated throughout a building's life cycle. The course also includes an outline of design approaches that can reduce building-based carbon emissions and a case study of a low embodied carbon building. Each section of this series may be taken as an individual course.
