ILFI Member Webinar – Climate Positive Design: Beyond Buildings

What role can our sites, landscapes, and infrastructure projects play in reducing emissions while increasing sequestration, and can these projects sequester more carbon than they emit? How can new tools and knowledge help inform site and building decisions throughout a project’s design phases?

When ILFI debuted the Zero Carbon Certification, it was the first of its kind. With the recent and rapid increase of data and newly available tools, we can now expand our design considerations beyond the building and into the environment, reaching the aspirational goal of climate positivity.

Landscape architects Pamela Conrad of Climate Positive Design and Chris Hardy from Sasaki will discuss strategies that empower designers of the exterior built environment to reduce carbon emissions and increase sequestration. They will present techniques and tools to calculate the carbon balance of landscape and infrastructural materials and strategies, both now and throughout a project’s lifespan.

This is the third of three complimentary ILFI webinars that Missouri Gateway Green Building Council members to attend for free.
