Chris MagwoodChris MagwoodManager at Rocky Mountain Institute

Chris Magwood is working to help create a world where buildings are a leading part of the climate solution instead of a major contributor to climate change and doing so in a way that makes the world more equitable, healthy, beautiful, and efficient.

In 2022, Chris joined the Rocky Mountain Institute’s Embodied Carbon initiative within RMI’s Carbon-Free Buildings team. There he leads efforts on HomebuildersCAN, a unique community of practice for homebuilders working to decarbonize, and the development of RESNET/ANSI Standard 1550 for the measurement and reporting of embodied carbon for home.

In 2019, he helped to establish Builders for Climate Action, and has been leading development of the BEAM carbon estimator tool for low-rise construction. At BfCA, he co-authored four major studies on embodied carbon in homebuilding.

From 2011-2022, Chris was a director and teacher at The Endeavour Centre, a not-for-profit sustainable building school. Prior to that, he ran a design/build firm specializing in carbon-storing, healthy, energy efficiency new construction and renovations.

Chris has authored seven books on sustainable building. His latest book, Building Beyond Zero: New Ideas for Carbon-Smart Architecture, is co-authored with Bruce King and published by Island Press.

Katie PossKatie PossDirector, Global Policy & Procurement at Building Transparency

Katie Poss is the Director of Global Policy and Procurement at Building Transparency, the non-profit that develops the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3). In this role, Katie supports the nonprofit’s core mission of providing the open access data and tools necessary to enable broad and swift action across the building industry in addressing embodied carbon's role in climate change. Prior to joining Building Transparency, Katie served as Director of Sustainability Initiatives at the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) and as Sustainability Program Manager at Turner Construction for its data center portfolio. She currently serves on New York State's Embodied Carbon Technical Advisory Group and is a board member of the California Straw Building Association.

Description

Can buildings become a major carbon bank for the planet? This webinar explores the potential for buildings to shift from leading contributors to climate change to becoming an important part of healing the climate. Efforts to reduce embodied carbon in buildings have largely been focused on reducing the carbon footprint of materials, but there is a growing body of building materials that store more carbon than was emitted in their production. Safely and durably stored in buildings, this carbon removal could quickly become the leading source of carbon dioxide removal on the planet, and the most practical and affordable. Explore the products and projects that are already pointing the way to buildings as carbon banks.
