Dinner Presentation

Decarbonizing the Built Environment: Reducing Embodied and Operational Carbon from Net Zero Design

To prevent global temperatures from exceeding 1.5°C, global net anthropogenic CO2 emissions must decline by about 45% from 2010 levels by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. The building industry generates about 40% of annual CO2 emissions, so a rapid shift to high-performance building design is necessary to reach the goal. Sean will discuss how the following topics relate to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 228, Standard Method of Evaluating Zero Net Energy and Zero Net Carbon Building Performance and what challenges and opportunities exist for future work:

• reduction pathways for reducing both embodied and operational carbon of the built environment.
• high-performance building modeling and whole building life cycle assessment (LCA)
• ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 228
• Key concepts: embodied carbon, operational carbon, high-performance building modeling, building lifecycle assessment, ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 228
