Free Webinar: Reducing Carbon Emissions from MEP Systems, June 9, 9:30 - 11 am PT
Event Description
As we move to reduce carbon emissions from our buildings and align with California carbon-reduction goals, we often overlook the impacts and opportunities in mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems beyond upfront energy efficiency. Emerging data, however, is giving us a fuller picture of how MEP design, system specifications and refrigerants contribute to emissions and how alternative design strategies can reduce those impacts. This course highlights the issues for designers, owners and engineers and proposes opportunities and solutions for residential and non-residential construction.
Learning Objectives -
Understand the Impact of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems to whole-life carbon emissions for buildings.
Learn about emerging tools and methodologies for measuring embodied carbon in MEP systems, including the challenges and opportunities in data availability and standardization.
Learn near-term strategies to reduce MEP carbon emissions within the context of a whole-life carbon approach to design and engineering.
Become familiar with the state of the industry for assessing and reporting emissions and the work currently in progress.
