LCA/EPD-related Greenbuild Sessions
October 2012 | 2030 Challenge for Products
Life cycle analysis (LCA), Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and general product transparency are at the core of the 2030 Challenge for Products – in order to specify low-carbon products we need product-specific data. If you’ll be in San Francisco next month for Greenbuild 2012, check-out the following sessions that will get you up to speed on all the LCA, EPD, and product transparency issues:
HIGHLIGHT: 2030 Presents
G05: Product Benchmarking: The Next Step to Getting Greener
Wednesday, 3:00pm – 4:00pm
Architecture 2030’s Francesca Desmarais will be presenting with Sally Zahner, Eley Guild Hardy Architects, and Julie Rapoport, CalStar Products, about the the use of product-specific LCAs and EPDs in product benchmarking. Attend this session to examine how these tools can be used by manufacturers and architects to make low-carbon and low-impact decisions. Highly recommended if you want to learn more about the 2030 Challenge for Products!
