About the speakers
Key takeaways
Comprehend the relationship between embodied carbon and operating carbon emissions in building retrofits and utilize tools to calculate the embodied carbon associated with various deep energy retrofit exterior insulation assemblies.
Amortize the upfront embodied carbon emissions costs associated with a deep energy retrofit with the anticipated operating carbon emissions savings.
Identify key components in exterior assemblies that benefit from the strategic use of low-embodied carbon materials and carbon storing materials.
Discuss policies and market development which support investment in low embodied carbon and carbon storing materials and deep energy retrofit solutions.
