This session will walk through key priorities and examples of how to put LCA into practice during design and procurement. First\, we will consider target setting\, building certifications\, scoping considerations\, and structural system selection during early design. Then we will walk through practical examples of assembly comparisons and whole building life cycle assessment (WBLCA) on vastly different building types and scopes including offices\, data centers\, multi-family\, and commercial fit-outs. These diverse case studies will offer insight into how LCA can be leveraged for decision making towards deep carbon reduction. \nThis course is taught by Aurora Jensen Brightworks Sustainability. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Meet your instructor \nAurora is a Senior Technical Specialist and the Embodied Carbon Lead with Brightworks Sustainability in New York City with a focus on materials and carbon\, and a part-time faculty member at the Parsons School of Design. With her work she seeks to engage multiple scales of social and environmental concerns—from microscale heat flows to macroscale supply chains—by linking passive\, active\, and materials design decisions to climate. She uses her experience in high performance energy modeling and whole building life cycle assessment (WBLCA) to drive down the operational and embodied carbon of projects. She sits on the ILFI Energy and Carbon TAG\, and co-leads the NYC chapter of the Carbon Leadership Forum. Aurora received her Masters in Design Studies in Energy and Environment with distinction from the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click Here to Take the Quiz\n \n \n \n \n \n Background photo by Luke Chesser on Unsplash. \n  URL:https://builtenvironmentplus.org/event/embodied-carbon-reduction-in-buildings-case-studies-in-lca/ LOCATION:Virtual Event CATEGORIES:Courses ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://builtenvironmentplus.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ECCCaseStudies.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230727T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230727T173000 DTSTAMP:20260405T210311 CREATED:20230714T195019Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230725T133336Z UID:10001847-1690475400-1690479000@builtenvironmentplus.org SUMMARY:Emerging Professionals Podcast Club DESCRIPTION:Emerging Professionals Media Club\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is for anyone interested in podcasts\, infrastructure\, and social equity in climate solutions! \nThe BE+ spin on a bookclub!
