Here’s why /podcast/inthenoco/2024-07-02/boulder-leaders-think-embodied-carbon-is-a-key-concept-in-fighting-climate-change-heres-why If you want to reduce a building’s carbon footprint, you might install a heat pump or add solar panels. Now, a new piece of Boulder’s energy code aims to limit emissions before construction has even started. On today’s episode of In The NoCo, we explore the concept of ‘embodied carbon’ - and why Boulder leaders are embracing it.
