Steel's New Design Load: Managing Embodied Carbon in Modern Construction
Hosted by LearnFormula Webinars
Low-carbon design is becoming an increasingly important consideration in Canadian construction projects as embodied carbon requirements move from sustainability initiatives into procurement and project delivery frameworks. Structural engineers are now expected to consider not only strength, serviceability, and constructability, but also the carbon impacts associated with material selection, fabrication methods, and procurement decisions. As public and private sector clients place greater emphasi
