EPD Optimization Kickstarter
DURATION: 2 hours
Building on the success of CAGBC's Manufacturer Kickstarter workshop series, the CAGBC EPD Optimization Kickstarter propels products to new heights in the transparency journey. This two-part series is designed for manufacturers with existing Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), providing a strategic pathway to establish a competitive edge in the current market. By capitalizing on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and EPD investments, manufacturers can strategically optimize their products, aligning seamlessly with the prevailing decarbonization trend in the dynamic building industry.
Led by industry experts immersed in the realms of product transparency and building design, participants will gain insights into:
" Building a Robust Business Case with EPD Optimization: Uncover the strategies to fortify your business case through effective EPD optimization, setting the stage for a compelling competitive advantage.
" Optimization Processes for Reduced Product Impacts: Analize the intricacies of the optimization process, equipping manufacturers to significantly diminish the environmental footprint of their products. This aligns with clients' commitments to environmental stewardship within the expansive scope of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG).
" Understanding Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Embodied Carbon Goals: Grasp the significance of whole building LCA in the context of clients' embodied carbon goals-a pivotal element of ESG. Gain valuable insights into aligning products with broader sustainability objectives.
" Meeting Product Specifiers' Criteria for EPDs: Review the landscape of product selection with precision by understanding the criteria that product specifiers prioritize when evaluating products with EPDs
The course culminates by offering a forward-looking perspective on EPD Optimization. It includes a demonstration of an innovative online tool that connects design and procurement, streamlining the flow of critical information. This exemplary tool not only fosters transparency but also exemplifies the future of EPD Optimization in the manufacturing and construction industries. Participants will leave with actionable strategies, a deeper understanding of ESG implications, and a vision for the future of sustainable product optimization in the evolving landscape of building practices.
