There are two types of carbon emissions with respect to a building: operational carbon and embodied carbon. Operational carbon refers to carbon dioxide emitted during the life of a building, emissions from heating, cooling, lighting, etc. Embodied carbon refers to carbon dioxide emitted during the extraction, manufacture, and transport of building materials.

During this session, you will learn about tools for selecting products and materials that reduce embodied carbon emissions and move the industry toward making carbon-storing products the rule, rather than the exception.

Lisa Conway is the VP of Sustainability, Americas for Interface – the global flooring manufacturer that is leading industry to love the world. Lisa serves on the Sustainable Advisory Board for Penn State University’s Smeal College of Business, is one of “CoreNet’s 36 Under 36”, and founded the materials Carbon Action Network (materialsCAN).
