Design Smarter: Carbon Analysis in Early-Stage Design
Earn 1 AIA LU.
Achieving zero carbon emissions in the built environment is a formidable challenge. However, architects possess the power to reduce this impact significantly. The most critical decisions influencing a building’s carbon footprint—such as its form and primary materials—are made during the early design stages, often before sustainability experts become involved.
This webinar is designed to equip architects with the knowledge and tools to integrate carbon analysis into the design process. Learn how to measure and reduce a building’s environmental impact from early concept to completion, explore strategies for tackling both embodied and operational carbon, and get practical guidance on implementing sustainable design principles. Join us to discover how to create high-performance buildings that are both environmentally responsible and architecturally compelling from day one.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the importance of carbon analysis in the building industry, its impact on sustainable design, and the architect’s role in carbon reduction. Differentiate between embodied and operational carbon.
- Learn to conduct early-stage carbon assessments, optimize designs, and minimize the building’s carbon footprint.
- Explore methods for comprehensive carbon assessment, including creating energy models and analyzing design scenarios to optimize carbon performance.
- Apply carbon analysis knowledge to real-world projects, learn from case studies, and implement carbon reduction strategies.
