Episode #78: Reduce Complexity to Reduce Carbon - Rockford Boyer, Elastochem
Calculating the embodied carbon of a building is a process of adding up all the inputs. So it follows that the more inputs there are, the more opportunities there are to increase a project's global warming potential and make the project less sustainable. Not a big concern for most projects today, but soon will be as code authorities move closer and closer to limiting the allowable GWP of new builds and renovations. As a building science expert working for Canadian spray foam manufacturer, Elastochem, Rocky Boyer has taken a deep dive into these issues and realized that each layer in a wall…
