Seattle, Estados Unidos
Non-profit organisation born at the University of Washington and now independent, dedicated to accelerating the reduction of embodied carbon in materials and construction through collective action. It researches, publishes methodologies and benchmarks, and drives open tools such as EC3 to measure the carbon of materials. It also coordinates the Embodied Carbon Network of professionals. It matters for decarbonising construction because it focuses the sector on embodied carbon, the emissions released when manufacturing and building, which gain weight as operational efficiency improves.
Why we chose it
Because it put the embodied carbon of materials on the sector's agenda and provides data and methods to reduce it.
