This session focuses on how to approach decarbonization as designers. Landscape architects are skilled at balancing a complex array of different considerations on every project, regardless of its type or scale. To achieve carbon reduction goals, our design approach must incorporate best practices and strategies seamlessly into our practice.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand when to effectively overlay decarbonizing strategies onto existing project workflows, phase by phase.
  • Learn more about the best practices to achieve carbon reduction goals through design decisions.
  • Gain an overview of various carbon accounting tools, and when to leverage each tool’s strengths.
  • Explore different approaches to making the case for decarbonizing design with clients and project teams.
