As crafters of the built environment, we have a unique opportunity and responsibility to make the right design choices. In this interactive hands-on session, you'll learn about the intersection of Equity and Climate Positive Design. The team will demonstrate tools, share case studies, and discuss strategies to become net positive.
Learning objectives:
- Attain a better understanding of carbon initiatives and how they correlate to design equity.
- Acquire knowledge of embodied carbon in our everyday materials palettes, and develop quick adaptations to make choices that are climate-friendly.
- Through a visual demonstration of the Pathfinder tool, expand your knowledge and insight of greener design in your projects.
- Become a more responsible designer, with a deep awareness of the impact of product specifications on climate change and planet health.
