The Hidden Climate Impact of Residential Construction
RMI's new report on embodied carbon illuminates the hidden climate emissions in low-rise residences and strategies for builders to make cost-effective reductions quickly.
Join us as homebuilder and embodied carbon expert Chris Magwood introduces HomebuildersCAN: a supportive Carbon Action Network initiative. Developed by RMI with an industry stakeholder group, HomebuildersCAN will support builders as they learn about embodied carbon and provide the industry with a consistent approach to incorporate embodied carbon into decarbonization strategies. The program will assist members in three key areas:
Meeting climate targets requires that the building construction industry addresses embodied carbon emissions for holistic sector decarbonization, in line with RMI’s mission to secure a clean, prosperous, and zero-carbon future for all.
