In this episode, host Amy Hattan talks with Amanda Garvey, a vice president in Thornton Tomasetti’s Sustainability and Resilience practice, about reducing embodied carbon in higher education facilities. Amanda discusses how focusing on Scope 3 emissions from building materials can help colleges and universities meet carbon neutrality goals. She shares ways that certifications like LEED and ILFI promote embodied-carbon reduction and explains how schools can measure, compare and set targets to reduce their carbon footprint. Amanda also emphasizes the role of higher education in driving market change by adopting and standardizing embodied-carbon reporting.
