SUMMARY:2:00pm - Climate Change\, IAQ and Energy Efficiency
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1631663664788{padding: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″]Climate Change\, IAQ and Energy Efficiency[vc_column_text font_size=”18px” line_height=”1.8″]Climate change\, wildfires\, excessive heat and a life-threatening pandemic – life as we have known it\, no longer exists. Many people from all walks of life and who live in existing housing can no longer escape to their ‘castle’. What can be done to provide healthy housing with clean\, cool and affordable indoor air to those most vulnerable? This session brings together three experts to discuss solution driven outcomes to the challenges we now face in existing buildings.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]SpeakerAileen GagneyRead BioTom BalderstonRead BioWebly BowlesRead Bio[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:12:00pm - How Buildings Can Reverse Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1631663664788{padding: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″]How Buildings Can Reverse Climate Change[vc_column_text font_size=”18px” line_height=”1.8″]Emissions arising from manufacturing building materials for North American homes add around 65 million metric tonnes of GHGs every year. And the drive to improve energy efficiency in homes may push these emissions even higher. Understanding the impacts of material carbon emissions (MCEs) is critical for all of us in the homebuilding industry. Fortunately\, homebuilders have a clear\, achievable and affordable path to bringing MCEs to zero or\, even better\, to making homes that store carbon and help reverse climate change. \nHow do we do this? We need to understand MCE\, be able to assess MCE in our buildings and work toward designs and material procurement that matches our climate goals. It is also critical that we make these buildings last as long as possible\, providing health and resilience for their occupants\, so that the MCEs are stored rather than re-emitted during deconstruction or demolition. \nThis presentation will include results from two new Canadian studies that put this issue into clear perspective for the first time. It will also include project examples from Phoenix and Seattle to show low embodied carbon building is already occurring in a broad range of climates.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]SpeakerChris MagwoodRead BioLucas JohnsonRead Bio[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:10:30am - Concrete Carbon Solutions
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1631663664788{padding: 15px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″]Concrete Carbon Solutions[vc_column_text font_size=”18px” line_height=”1.8″]The top 50 architecture\, engineering\, construction (AEC) firms\, and other key professionals responsible for well over one trillion dollars of global annual construction have rallied around establishing building sector emissions targets to meet the Paris Agreement. The embodied carbon emissions of construction products represent a significant portion of emissions and unlike operational carbon emissions these emissions are locked in place as soon as a building is built. However\, measuring the impacts of buildings\, assemblies and products can be complex. Every design decision from product selection to envelope design and construction can have an impact on the environment throughout the project’s service life. Now we have the ability to adopt a holistic life cycle perspective to provide solutions that minimize the carbon impacts while ensuring resilience to natural hazards.\nThis session will review the growing number of legislation and regulations to reduce carbon emissions of the concrete industry; how the industry demonstrates success through innovative tools and metrics; and how manufacturing methods and research are enhancing concrete products to meet the challenges of climate adaption.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]SpeakerTien PengRead Bio[/vc_column][/vc_row]
