Material Bank's "Design Your Impact" Series
It's EPIC to CARE: Free Tools Enabling Low-Carbon Design
1 x IDCEC Credit Offered to All Attendees
Jack Rusk, Climate Strategist at EHDD, and Erin McDade, Senior Program Officer at Architecture 2030, will demonstrate two complementary and free tools for data-driven decarbonization. CARE makes the case for retrofiting existing buildings and EPIC looks across a wide range of carbon reduction measures that are available on every project. Together, the tools help project teams set a path to zero from the beginning of the project — when data is scarce but the potential for carbon reduction is high.
