Workshop Description

Learn the foundational knowledge of why carbon is an effective sustainability metric in the built environment and strategies to systematically reduce organizational carbon impact. Explore how the design, construction and operation of the built environment influences the natural carbon cycle and a methodology and strategies to create accurate baselines of the carbon impact of an organization’s built assets. Understand approaches to identify, prioritize, plan, execute and track carbon reduction measures within the organization’s existing capital and operating framework. This class prepares you to capture an opportunity in the rapidly evolving field that is sure to grow with the impending passage of cap-and-trade legislation for carbon emissions.
