The Carbon Sweet Spot: Tradeoffs between Embodied Carbon and Operating Carbon
Wed Apr 10
10:00 AM — 10:20 AM (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time
New York Hilton Midtown - Level 3, Americas Hall I - Area A
Designing buildings to operate on less energy and carbon is essential to net zero goals, but some design choices—particularly in facades—can increase a building's upfront embodied carbon. This session explores the design decisions and tradeoffs real estate professionals should know to create buildings that are low carbon from construction to end of life, based on research from ULI Greenprint, architecture firm KPF, and the University of Washington's Integrated Design Lab.
