Limberlost Place: Post Construction Embodied Carbon Assessment
CLF Toronto is a local hub of the Carbon Leadership Forum. We organize local events that empower industry professionals to radically reduce embodied carbon from buildings and infrastructure.
About the Event:
Presentation of the post-construction Life Cycle Assessment of Limberlost Place providing a unique opportunity to examine the carbon emissions of an as-built project and some insight into the ‘reality’ of the embodied carbon of a building beyond the design stage. The results allow us to validate where we are being successful in reducing carbon emissions and learn where improvements should be made.
