Case Studies
The UC Embodied Carbon Case Studies showcase different carbon reduction strategies at existing facilities at UC’s campuses and medical centers. These facilities provide examples of how to incorporate carbon reduction strategies into buildings.
Case Studies
Seven UC case studies demonstrate five carbon reduction strategies. UCSF's Bayfront Medical Building and Helen Diller Hospital utilize low-carbon concrete. UC Davis' Walker Hall and UCSD's Marine Conservation and Technology Buildings reuse existing buildings. UCSB's Henley Hall focuses on their MEP systems. UC Berkeley implements mass timber building with their Academic Seismic Replacement Building. Finally UCLA and UCSD focus on reuse in their interiors.
Each case study provides the following information:
- Summary of the Project
- LCA Results show how much carbon was reduced
- Reduction Visualizer shows a photo of the project's design choices
- Motivation and Goals
- Supply Chain of Material highlights the life cycle phases of the project
- Roadblocks and Challenges
- Design Process provides questions to consider
- Lessons Learned
- Development Team Information
