On November 28th from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm, join KIRKOR’s Director of Sustainability, Lara Gumushdjian, for a thought-provoking seminar on the discoveries, challenges, and opportunities of the specific-based approach to embodied carbon. The current discourse about embodied carbon in architecture is focused on how both design based and broad stroke strategies can decarbonize buildings. Although the WGBC’s Report “Bringing Embodied Carbon Upfront” suggests that both methodologies can reduce carbon, that is only one side of the story. Hosted by the Ontario Association of Architects, this webinar delves into another narrative to expand on what a specification-based strategy means in action, the results of its application, the significant information gaps revealed through our research process, and the “Carbon Disconnect”. Register through the link below or check out our blogs for a head start on learning: https://lnkd.in/gVCYPB_G https://lnkd.in/gKi9UczW
