As we move up the BC Energy Step Code ladder while cutting back on operational emissions, we can’t lose sight of embodied carbon when selecting the components and materials for new buildings. Without considering embodied carbon, more energy-efficient homes could still contribute to global warming – with most of the impact occurring before the homeowner moves in! To help you make the right choices, ZEBx and the Carbon Leadership Forum Vancouver (CLF Vancouver) are collaborating on the next Decarb Lunch focused on the lessons learned from a study of 34 step code homes.
