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.
