From Strategy to Practice

  • March 30, 2026
Translating the real-world complexity of buildings, their materials, sourcing, manufacturing, transportation, installation, use and eventual replacement into a model we can measure and analyze is one of the most complex challenges we face today. We rely on layers of abstraction: mathematics, coding, algorithms and databases to simulate multiple iterations and scenarios. And this modeling process is still evolving.

The Fundamentals of Embodied Carbon

  • August 4, 2025
Walk into any design meeting today and you’ll likely hear the word decarbonization. Among many strategies, it’s become a key focus in the building industry’s response to climate change. But what does it actually mean for the spaces we build? More importantly, how do we turn broad climate goals into specific, measurable actions, especially when much of a building’s emissions are released before the lights are ever turned on?
