Embodied Emissions in Buildings

Ecocity Peer Network Webinar Series

This was the second webinar for the Ecocity Peer Network held on February 23, 2021.

Dr. Jennie Moore, Cora Hallsworth, Ryan Mackie and Alex Hebert from BCIT were joined by Jeremy Caradonna from the Province of BC’s Office of Mass Timber Implementation and Patrick Enright, Senior Green Building Engineer at the City of Vancouver. They discussed the significance of embodied emissions in our buildings, how they are measured, and innovative policy responses that any local government can implement.
