Material Carbon Emissions & The BEAM Estimator - Chris Magwood - BS082
Manage episode 334986110 series 2812424
Chris Magwood is once again our guest on the podcast.
Today we are discussing calculating materials carbon emissions, which might also be called up front carbon or embodied carbon. Chris and his team at buildersforclimateaction.org have created the BEAM calculator to do just that.
We discuss the calculator, what it can do and what its limitations are. Whether it's ok to offset biogenic carbon against higher carbon emitting materials? Some excellent reports into current house construction in Canada and how they can be improved, new and exciting materials coming onto the market and Chris' new book - Build Beyond Zero.
