SUMMARY:Procrastinator's Series: Embodied Carbon with The Beauty of Block
DESCRIPTION:Join AIAVA for our Procrastinator series – a series of Lunch and Learn sessions for those of us who couldn’t get around to it before now. These sessions are for you if you happen to be running behind on your learning units for the year or waiting till the last minute\, because we get it. \n\nWe hope you’ll join us! \n\n1 AIA LU | HSW \nREGISTER \nDescription:\nThis is the first course in our CMU embodied carbon series\, focusing on how concrete masonry units (CMU) differ from traditional wet-cast concrete in terms of carbon impact. We will set the stage for the concrete and carbon sequestration discussion by looking at the larger geologic carbon cycle and greenhouse gas emissions; and how it all relates to climate change. We will then look at the concrete carbon cycle and recent CMHA sequestration research and testing which demonstrates the accelerated sequestration rates substantially reducing the overall embodied carbon of dry-cast CMU construction. \nLearning Objectives:\n1. Explore how concrete masonry construction offers interconnected sustainability strategies.\n2. Explore the relevant similarities and differences between dry-cast concrete masonry units (CMU) and wet-cast concrete. These differences are why CMU assemblies have lower embodied carbon and increased carbon sequestration rates.\n3. Define terms that describe how concrete masonry construction fits into the climate change conversation and explain why concrete sequesters carbon dioxide.\n4. Review sequestration research conducted by the Concrete Masonry and Hardscapes Association (CMHA) that separates CMU from other types of concrete when evaluating embodied carbon
