Decarbonizing Case Studies
Breakout 3: 2–3 p.m.

When Built Green updated their certification requirements to include embodied carbon calculations as part of the 5-star certification they created the incentive needed to move a long-standing idea from paper to reality… embodied carbon calculations would become standard within the TC Legend Homes building process. Over the past year and a half, TC Legend Homes has taken a deep dive into the world of Embodied Carbon. What started as a plan to complete calculations for certification purposes evolved into an idea to benchmark the embodied carbon of the companies’ projects and use this benchmark to create achievable embodied carbon reduction goals. Come join Talia Dreicer, TC Legend Home’s Embodied Carbon and BIM Specialist as she discusses the companies journey into the next great frontier of green buildings. Talia will discuss some of the steps TC Legend is taking to reduce project embodied carbon and the companies long term goal of building net zero carbon homes.
