SUMMARY:Carbon & Energy Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Topic: The Cost of the Stretch Code \nThis roundtable will bring together industry experts to share perspectives and real-world experience with the cost of Stretch Code compliance. The discussion will explore projects where early coordination and thoughtful design have helped minimize or avoid added costs\, as well as projects where enhanced requirements have resulted in higher construction costs. Panelists will share lessons learned\, cost drivers\, and practical strategies for balancing compliance\,  performance\, and budgets. \nJoin the virtual BE+ Carbon and Energy Roundtable\, a venue for architects\, designers\, construction managers\, and sustainability professionals to discuss issues related to carbon and energy in buildings. \nReach out to carbonenergy@builtenvironmentplus.org with any inquiries\, questions\, or concerns. \n*Rescheduled from November 3rd \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Register here\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Roundtables are FREE for Built Environment Plus Members. \nNew to the Roundtables?

SUMMARY:Life Cycle Assessment & Environmental Product Declarations
DESCRIPTION:About the TrainingIn this course for building industry professionals\, you will learn the promise and pitfalls of LCA and EPDs\, understand the categories of impact included in the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) process\, and examine the boundaries of those processes – what is included and what is not part of the process. The session will compare LCA categories with the Common Materials Framework defined by mindfulMaterials and consider the history of political debate that surrounds LCA of building materials with added focus on impacts that lie outside of the LCA process. \nThis training is eligible for 2 AIA LU / HSW continuing education credits. \n This is a live\, online training led by Jim Newman with Linnean Solutions. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Register here\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Jim Newman\, LEED AP O+M\, is Founder and Principal at Linnean Solutions\, where he focuses on community based resilience\, material health\, and building performance. Jim’s experience includes Living Building Challenge consulting\, LCA and embodied carbon accounting\, as well as soil carbon accounting and community-driven processes. He helped found the Massachusetts Chapter of the USGBC and held the position of Chair of the Board of the Chapter for two years. Previously\, Jim worked as the Director of Strategy at BuildingGreen. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Learning Objectives\n				1. Understand where Life Cycle Assessment fits into the building design process.2. See what areas of impact are included (and not included) in LCA.3. Compare the mindfulMaterials Common Materials Framework with LCA categories.4. Practice discerning the relative importance of different impact categories on the design process. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Funding Grants Available: Submit by October 20th\, 2026\n				The Express Grant is designed to help businesses respond quickly to emerging needs and keep employees engaged.
