Materials Matter: Lower Embodied Carbon at the Beginning of a Carbon Lifespan

Abstract

Abstract:   Our project involves compiling and comparing sustainable building materials and structural concepts to then use in building assemblies in various combinations. The assemblies will be optimized through testing and redesign, and compared on their performance data in comparison to their sustainable characteristics. The end goal is to find the optimal combination of form, material, thermal performance, structural efficiency, and cost.
