Join us for a tour through the new Embodied Carbon PathFinder tool. Developed by Morrison Hershfield, Open Green Building Society, and Athena Sustainable Materials Institute, the PathFinder tool enables industry professionals to make informed decisions early in the design process. In addition, results from the associated costing study will be shared publicly for the first time Our three speakers will provide guidance on how the Building PathFinder Tool, drawing upon real projects to share lessons learned and how low carbon choices impact project costs: The slides for this event are available to download from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10rYNt1UvEtY1hAFLrPItgKY92shQBwsh/view?usp=sharing Video chapters: 01:40 - Ivan Lee (Morrison Hershfield) 01:47 - Background and overview 22:45 - Demo of the tool 27:40 - Navid Hossaini (Recolletive) 27:42 - PathFinder in the project lifecycle 33:01 - Case Studies PathFinder in Action 38:05 - Strengths and Limitations 40:58 - Patrick Enright (City of Vancouver) 43:00 - Context and Code Changes 47:37 - Cost implications of low carbon buildings 59:45 - Q&A and Closing --- CLF Vancouver is a program area of ZEBx, and we are grateful to our funders Forestry Innovation Investment for their support for these webinars. https://www.zebx.org/ https://www.bcfii.ca/

Priopta supports design teams in reducing embodied carbon on construction projects and works with leading organizations and jurisdictions to develop effective embodied carbon policies. Anthony is also the founder of CLF Vancouver—the first local hub of the Carbon Leadership Forum—which organizes local events that empower industry professionals to radically reduce embodied carbon from buildings and infrastructure. Since 2019, CLF Vancouver has inspired over 30 other cities to start CLF local hubs. He now also serves as the CLF Global Hub Director, working to support the growth and impact of CLF hubs around the world.
