This project involves a methods, tools, and best practices review of embodied carbon in airport buildings and infrastructure. The outcome of this project will help to determine how the Vancouver Airport Authority (VAA) can calculate and reduce the embodied carbon emissions in the development of projects, and how to use this information in making decisions that help the airport address embodied carbon in infrastructure projects.

Partner: Vancouver Airport Authority
Keywords: green buildings, supply chain management & green procurement, sustainable development & green economy
