Using Technology to Measure the Carbon Impact of a Structure

Presented on: Tuesday, June 29

Webinar Sponsored by Tekla Software

Presented by: Trevor Bruce, P.E.

Description: Measuring and limiting the carbon impact of a building has become a hot topic within the construction industry but many engineers still have some basic questions. What is embodied carbon? What is its impact and why is it important? What resources are available to help quantify embodied carbon?

If you’re like the majority of engineers and have some general questions on this topic including how to incorporate embodied carbon measurements within your design, you will not want to miss this webinar.

Learning objectives include:

  • Fundamentals of embodied carbon and sustainable design
  • How to apply embodied carbon factors using available technology
  • Methods to investigate and compare utilization vs embodied carbon impact
  • How to automate the creation of embodied carbon reports
