We welcome case studies developed by CLF members to be shared with the CLF network. Case studies help advance CLF’s mission to radically reduce the embodied carbon in building materials and construction. They provide generalized guidance, but not product/company specific promotion. They support high quality embodied carbon policy and practices without lobbying for specific legislation.
