Learning Objectives

1. Learn what are the drivers for reducing Embodied and Operational carbon in buildings and how do we measure carbon in building materials.

2. Using GPS insulation as a base case, explain how do sustainable raw materials e.g., recycled, renewable and biomass, contribute to reducing embodied carbon.

3. Define what is the corollary between the density of rigid foam insulation and embodied carbon e.g., less material equals less carbon.

4. Explain what are the available tools e.g., calculators and design software, that compare embodied and operational carbon of similar building materials.

Reducing Embodied Carbon with Biomass & Renewable Graphite Polystyrene Insulation

FREE

This course examines the value of using graphite polystyrene from a lifecycle perspective as a carbon reduction strategy. Participants will learn about how the integration of biomass and recycled content contributes to reducing the carbon footprint of GPS in the manufacturing phase and how GPS’s carbon payback period compares to other rigid foam insulation. Using GPS as the base case, this course will also explain how lifecycle analysis and environmental product declarations (EPDs) are developed and used to measure embodied carbon and compare and select products and systems.

Credits: 1 AIA LU HSW + 1 GBCI (USGBC/CAGBC) + 1 AIBD Primary + 1 Sustainable Design + 1 AIBC Core LU + 1 AAA Structured LU + 1 OAA, OAQ, SAA, MAA, AAPEI, NWTAA + 1 Climate Action (OAA)
