SPONSOR/S:

OVERVIEW:

This 4th and last webinar in the Roadmap to Carbon Zero Homes series covers:

  • How to incorporate embodied energy into the Roadmap for truly carbon neutral outcomes.
  • What are the relative impacts of embodied vs operational carbon?
  • How the embodied energy of different materials and assemblies compare to each other
  • What guiding principles can be used when choosing materials. 
  • How to use the Epic database and Environmental Product Declarations to ballpark embodied energy on a project.
  • How eTool, an Australia software, can be employed where certified claims are required.
