Reducing embodied carbon emissions is one of the most urgent opportunities we have today in reducing the footprint of our built spaces as building materials manufacturing makes up 11% of total GHG emissions annually. Until recently, few tools were available for addressing embodied carbon’s role in climate change.

EC3 is a ground-breaking database tool focused on the procurement and specification of low-carbon materials, allowing for easy comparison of product-specific EPDs. This presentation, brought to you by the tool’s implementer, will demonstrate how this open-source, supply chain-focused solution, now with more than 10,000 subscribers, can move the data center industry towards net-zero through democratizing data and providing transparency in construction.
