- Building Decarbonization - Embodied and Operational Carbon: This session explores the critical role of building decarbonization in addressing climate destabilization, extreme weather events, and the built environment's contribution to global carbon emissions. The presentation will distinguish between embodied carbon (associated with materials and construction) and operational carbon (linked to building energy use), offering practical approaches for reducing both through strategic design, material selection, and systems integration. We'll examine local examples and case studies that illustrate the potential for carbon reduction through electrification, material choices, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The session will also cover the broader implications of decarbonization for human health, safety, and community well-being, emphasizing the value of early stakeholder engagement and accurate cost estimation in decarbonization projects.
