  • Course Description: RAIC: Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment Workshop

    May 22, 2025

    Assessing embodied carbon impacts throughout a building’s life cycle is a necessary step in a shift towards regenerative and lower carbon design. The Canadian built environment is the third-highest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and there is an urgent and critical need to accelerate the knowledge, skills and competencies of professionals who design Canada’s buildings.

    To address this need, the RAIC is partnering with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in a one-year rapid-deployment project to train members of the Canadian architectural community through a high quality, hand-on case study-based Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) curriculum.

    Whole building LCA provides an estimate of the total GHG emissions associated with a building. This includes emissions due to operations and defined as the emissions associated with the extraction, manufacturing, transport, installation, replacement, and the end of service life for products and materials used in a building, which constitute a significant proportion of a building’s whole life carbon emissions. 

    Participants will leave the session with knowledge of definitions, methods, targets and standards as well as having the opportunity to practice with LCA software to implement into practice.
