Striking the Carbon Balance: Plastic Insulation’s Impact on Life Cycle Emissions Reduction

This course intended to draw the connections between global climate action goals and the role of the built environment to drive carbon emissions to zero by 2050. The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act shines a light on how low carbon building material selection is one of the keys to reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the U.S. High performance, sustainable products and thoughtful assemblies designed with the entire building life cycle in mind are critical to our sustainable communities of the future. Attendees will gain an in depth understanding between the embodied carbon of building products and how the operational carbon of the built environment is linked to some of these products, such as insulation. Speakers will delve into the concept of driving embodied carbon towards zero while simultaneously improving the operational efficiency of buildings, which is a key component of reducing operational carbon to the same goal of zero emissions by 2050.
