The Structural Engineers 2050 Commitment Program (SE 2050) will make monumental strides in drastically reducing the embodied carbon of structural systems. To reach net zero, coordinated action is required across the architecture, engineering, and construction industry to change design and construction methods. That includes demanding the production and documentation of lower impact materials. Join us to discuss how to establish an Embodied Carbon Action Plan (ECAP) and gather carbon data for masonry materials. Explore opportunities for lower carbon masonry and understand that efficiently designed masonry wall systems can lower embodied carbon without requiring jumping through hoops.
Learning Objectives:

• Explore low impact masonry for the built environment.
  
  
• Investigate how efficiently designed masonry wall systems can lower embodied carbon.
  
  
• Get connected with resources to help you find Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for masonry materials.
  
  
• Examine how to calculate the Embodied Carbon Order of Magnitude using the ECOM calculator.
