Buildings are responsible for 40% of the US greenhouse gas emissions. Building owners and regulators are in a rapid transformation in how buildings are designed and built. Join Peter Rumsey, Founder of Point Energy Innovations, as he discusses how to lower and eliminate the carbon emissions associated with building materials such as concrete, steel, and glass. Peter will cover building reuse, low embodied carbon structural systems, and offsets for hard-to-eliminate embodied carbon. This webinar will be especially useful to building design and construction professionals including architects, engineers, and construction managers. You Will Learn: High-Level Strategies for Addressing Embodied Carbon Alternatives to Concrete Structural Systems Offset strategies that are valid and traceable
