This session will explore the rapidly evolving field of interdisciplinary embodied carbon reporting and its growing importance in the AIA 2030 Commitment. Industry experts will discuss the latest trends, tools, and collaborations driving the collection and reporting of embodied carbon intensity across architecture, engineering, and landscape disciplines. Join us to learn how reporting standards are aligning through the ECHO Project and to gain valuable insights on how to apply these practices in your own work. This cross-disciplinary approach is crucial for reducing carbon impact, meeting 2030 targets, and driving sustainable change in the AEC industry.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss key trends and tools in embodied carbon reporting across architectural, structural, mechanical, and landscape disciplines.
- Learn how the commitment programs are integrating the ECHO reporting schema to align their embodied carbon collection and reporting with this evolving industry standard.
- Evaluate the benefits of a cross-disciplinary approach to reducing embodied carbon and its impact on pursuing net-zero emissions goals.
- Strengthen your ability to integrate embodied carbon-reduction strategies and reporting methods into your own design processes.
