Description
Actions Designers and Specifiers Can Take to Reduce the Embodied Carbon in Aluminum Extrusion Bonnell Aluminum’s Division Marketing Director, Guy Charpentier, and AEC’s Marketing Consultant, Lynn Brown, dig deeper into the 2022 update of AEC’s Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). They revisit the major conclusions from a deeper analysis of the AEC EPDs and explore a subsequent sensitivity analysis that demonstrates the impact on embodied carbon that purchaser decisions can have. By adjusting certain “levers” in the sourcing of the raw material, specifiers, designers and architects can reduce the embodied carbon of their products by simply working with their aluminum extruder to meet their environmental impact goals. Learn how in this informative episode.
