Embodied Carbon

An introduction to the concept of embodied carbon in the building materials used in senior living communities.
This presentation is delivered by three members of the SSAFE Energy Workgroup: George Alexander (Kendal at Longwood), Judy David (Kendal at Hanover), and Stu White (Kendal at Hanover). Together, they explore how the materials selected for construction and renovation contribute to a community’s overall carbon footprint and why considering embodied carbon is essential to long-term sustainability efforts.
