Carbon Analysis

LAB: DESIGN & TECH

DIVISION: EDUCATION, RESEARCH

The OLIN Carbon Analysis grew out of Labs' increased focus on climate action, specifically focused on carbon. The purpose is to learn and share the current tools available for measuring carbon impacts in our projects, understanding which tool is appropriate for various stages of the design process, and enabling all OLIN designers and planners to have a baseline understanding of the carbon impacts of our design decisions. The audit primarily focuses on the Pathfinder tool and Carbon Conscience. The audit consists of a project portfolio, a Carbon Handbook, and, as a work in progress, may involve other components to be further developed by Labs.
