Hello Seattle CLF Hub members!
Join us online this Thursday, January 15 at noon for a Carbon Leadership Forum–Seattle Hub presentation on how a bill and code proposals becomes Washington law. The presentation will focus on process, and how to engage with the decisionmakers at the right place and time. If you don’t have this meeting on your calendar, please register again at the link below.
Please join Kjell Anderson, FAIA, LEED Fellow, Principal and the Director of Sustainable Design at LMN Architects and Kathleen Petrie, Program Manager Green Building Communitywide at King County Solid Waste.
We’ll hear about:
· Two embodied carbon building code proposals that are being considered by the State Building Code Council for the 2024 building code expected to be adopted in November.
· House Bill 2273 that will be considered this year by the legislature to reduce embodied carbon emissions of building and building materials
· The Regional Code Collaborative, administered by King County. Learn how the RCC can be utilized to help jurisdictions navigate code proposals

CLF Northeast Hub: Deconstruction and Reuse Working Group monthly meeting
January: Group Planning
Friday (1/16) over zoom between 1-2PM EST.
2026 needs to be a year of momentum and growth for circularity in the built environment, and as such we are excited to announce that this year the theme of the Reuse Group will be “ACTION!”. To this end, January’s meeting will be a collaborative working meeting in which we ask members to help contribute to 2026 Reuse Group planning. We will once again be using Miro, so please use this link during the meeting to access our 2026 planning board and help contribute to the direction our group will take this year.
We invite all members to join in, contribute their ideas, and help make 2026 the year that moves the needle on reuse, deconstruction, and circularity in the built environment. We might even have an announcement on V2 of the Reuse Roadmap in case any group members are interested in helping to update this vital resource…
The CLF West Coast LCA Tool User Group is meeting again at noon Pacific on the first Thursday of the month.
If you use tools like EC3, Tally, One Click LCA, Athena, or your own spreadsheets to tackle embodied carbon, this session is for you.
Bring your questions, your tricky project examples, or just listen in on how others are approaching whole building LCA across the West Coast. All experience levels are welcome.
Meeting Registration - Zoom

Hello Seattle CLF Hub members!
Please Join us online this Wednesday, 2026-02-18T20:00:00Z at noon for a Carbon Leadership Forum– SEA x PDX Hub presentation on “Implementation of low embodied carbon concrete specifications”
Meeting Details: Zoom Meeting link

Meeting ID: 817 0316 6637
***Please note :*Note: This link may register you for all PDX Hub meetings; please keep this in mind when signing up.
This session will be registered for One hour of AIA CE credit
Session Overview: This action-oriented specifications workshop focuses on implementation of low embodied carbon concrete specifications. Together with regional leaders Diane Warner (NW Cement Council), Chris Bennett (Bennett Builds), Matt Hoffman (KPFF), Melissa Verwest (Knife River) and others, we’ll dig into how low-carbon concrete shows up in specs, procurement, and construction and how to scale it based on regional trends, project goals, and capacity.
What you’ll learn:
-
How to evaluate good, better, and best low-carbon concrete strategies through the lens of project type, risk,
-
schedule, and budget
-
What language works in specifications — and where teams commonly get stuck
-
Which questions to ask, when to ask them, and who to ask (engineers, suppliers, contractors, and owners)
-
throughout design and construction
-
How to align embodied carbon goals with constructability, availability, and regional market realities

Please Join us online Thursday, April 23rd at noon for a Carbon Leadership Forum–Seattle Hub presentation on Total Lifecycle Carbon Assessment for Residential Design.
Residential architecture comprises 61% of US building stock but is underrepresented in analysis tools for carbon assessment.This AIA Upjohn funded joint venture project between Olson Kundig and the University of Washington’s Integrated Design Lab has developed a free interactive tool to help smaller firms balance embodied and operational carbon. Speakers include Heather Burpee and Teresa Moroseos (UW IDL) alongside Chris Savage and Vikram Sami (Olson Kundig).
IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE

The CLF West Coast LCA Tool User Group meets again this first 2026-07-02T19:00:00Z→2026-07-02T20:00:00Z. This could be your last meaningful meeting before the holiday!
We will answer your questions about tools such as EC3, Tally, OneClick LCA, and C.scale, how to establish a baseline, or how to streamline exports from Revit. New to LCA, or only using it occasionally? This is a great way to get up to speed and hear what others are trying.
