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.

fairly technical

Not the most clear presentation I've ever seen. Good information, but important data kind of got buried, or was only included verbally.

If you can find the answer to question #1 in the presentation and let me know I would be grateful.

Course was definately informative, but the content was overwhelmning and delivered in a manner that was confusing. Example stories were nice, but often departed from what the content being covered focued on. Quiz was difficult as several of the questions were not covered in teh presentation.

I didn't like the comment that the building code is the worst level you can build a building to. The codes are pushing the building process to near impossible to achieve these minimum standards. Overall, it is good to see a foam product that is extremely efficient at saving CO2.
