What is embodied carbon and why are #NetZeroBuildings people worked up about it?
Because we now have a fuller picture of the emissions that are created to construct buildings, renovate them, and keep them operating. All important.
Looking at *all* materials that flow into a building, #EmbodiedCarbon points to “the total impact of all human induced greenhouse gases emitted from material extraction through the end of its useful life.” – NBI, https://newbuildings.org/resource/an-insiders-guide-to-talking-about-carbon-neutral-buildings/
