| Join AIAT, Optima Engineering, and the ASHRAE Triangle Chapter with special guest Dr. Drury B. Crawley, PhD for a deep dive on decarbonization. This presentation describes the basics of building decarbonization including building carbon dioxide and other emissions, key drivers for decarbonization, how carbon impact is measured, and the accepted international standards for defining carbon life-cycle calculations. The key decarbonization methods are then described including offset strategies, electrification technology applications, and ways they can be implemented in the building sector. Finally, the efforts that ASHRAE already has underway to provide relevant information about decarbonization to the membership, and to embed decarbonization in our standards and guidelines. |
