Carbon emissions are the invisible building blocks of the architectural industry. Our industry is responsible for, and capable of, reducing carbon emissions dramatically.
The information in this book is meant to be a resource to help designers consider the carbon emissions implications of their decisions throughout the design process. The first component, Case Studies, describes specific lessons of carbon emissions through project-specific examples, with real world costs. The second, Carbon Fluency, supports the case studies and language specific to life cycle analysis.
