🌍 Exciting new episode of The Carbon Accounting and Management Podcast! 🌿 Join host Chris Barzman as he delves into a transformative discussion with Anthony Hickling, Executive Director of the Carbon Leadership Forum (CLF). They explore the powerful role of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and structural materials in reducing embodied carbon in the built environment. Here are three key takeaways from this enlightening episode: The Critical Role of Policy: Policies such as California's Buy Clean and CalGreen mandates are setting new standards for transparency and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Public procurement of materials, particularly concrete and steel, is now instrumental in driving demand for low-carbon options. Importance of EPDs: EPDs serve as "nutrition labels" for the environmental impacts of building materials. They are crucial for informed decision-making, with tools like EC3 (Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator) simplifying the comparison of embodied carbon impacts. Engaging the Construction Industry: From architects to contractors, early commitment to reducing embodied carbon is essential. The Carbon Leadership Forum's resources, including toolkits and lifecycle analysis data, support all stakeholders in making sustainable choices.
