Greener Structures

1. We recognize the need for coordinated action across our profession and will understand, reduce and ultimately eliminate embodied carbon in our projects by 2050. To that end, we will calculate the carbon burden of the structural components on our projects and recommend solutions with the lowest feasible embodied carbon.
2. We will ensure that the structural elements will not compromise the performance of the thermal envelope and compliance with Energy Codes on our projects. To that end, we will minimize problematic thermal bridging and coordinate the structural elements and details with the buildings’ air barrier systems.
