That question is anything but hypothetical in scientific laboratories, which present some of the most daunting challenges to decarbonization. Why labs are so difficult to decarbonize. It opened in 2017, and the excess energy generated will pay back the embodied carbon within its structure within 25 years.

The goal is to substantially minimize the use of steel and concrete for the buildings, because those materials significantly increase the embodied carbon of a project -- by up to 75% in some cases, according to a recent article in Architects Journal. But prioritizing the health of the planet is only part of the equation.

As we are learning, in climate change as in pandemics, the costs of a global crisis are bound to vastly exceed those of its prevention. We are using the newly developed Embodied Carbon for Construction Calculator (EC3) to support low-carbon procurement on structural steel, piles, rebar and concrete.
