CLF’s Embodied Carbon Roundtable has the following objectives:
- Share news, strategic plans, resources, and tools related to embodied carbon.
- Report planning and future dates for conferences, webinars, and meetings.
- Inspire and facilitate ongoing communication and conversation among key leaders related to embodied carbon.
- Encourage convergence on shared embodied carbon terminology, data standards, benchmarks, and targets for embodied carbon reduction.

some thoughts on industry-design-utilities concerted pathways to net zero. Not a real prediction at all, just a humble perspective:

- Eric Werling, U.S. DOE Zero Energy Ready Homes (ZERH) program director – working with DOE National Labs to plan for future evolution of DOE/EPA home certification programs from operational energy to net zero emissions. This will ultimately need to include accounting for embodied carbon in the certification process, ideally through the existing HERS infrastructure. Same metrics could be applied for retrofits, with obvious limitations.
