As we get better at reducing the operational emissions of buildings, addressing their embodied carbon is becoming more important. So far, the focus in designing sustainable, low-carbon buildings is primarily on the building envelope and major systems. While finishes have a relatively small impact on the overall equation, they are still part of the puzzle.
This course covers the basic considerations to be aware of when specifying concrete countertops or other decorative precast elements, making it easier for architects to include concrete surfaces as a locally made, sustainable alternative to mass-produced mainstream materials.

Many North American jurisdictions are moving beyond ASHRAE performance requirements for exterior wall assemblies, shifting instead to a holistic, building energy performance standard (BEPS) approach. A line-item-by-line-item approach no longer yields the best results. Instead, component performance needs to be viewed across multiple facets to build high-performance exterior wall assemblies. This presentation discusses the impacts of thermal bridging on compliance with emerging building energy performance standards (BEPS), as well as ASHRAE.
