  Priopta

  Jan 2017 - now

  Principal - Life Cycle Assessment Consultant

  At Priopta, we have deep expertise in embodied carbon and specialize in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) modelling for buildings. We empower design teams with the data and knowledge they need to reduce embodied carbon, and have developed LCA modelling for over 70 buildings (residential, commercial, institutional, healthcare, and industrial), complying with various embodied carbon requirements such as LEED v4.1 MRc1, CaGBC ZCB, and the City of Vancouver's Rezoning policy.We also work with leading jurisdictions such as the City of Vancouver, the Province of BC, and the Canadian Federal Government to develop effective embodied carbon policies, as well as with forward-thinking building owners and developers on strategic consulting to reduce embodied carbon across their portfolio of projects.Contact us to learn more about how we can support your organization to drive radical reductions in embodied carbon on your projects.www.priopta.comanthony@priopta.com Show less

  CLF British Columbia | Carbon Leadership Forum

  Feb 2019 - now

  Founder

  CLF British Columbia is a local hub of the Carbon Leadership Forum, and was previously known as the CLF Vancouver. We organize local events that empower industry professionals to radically reduce embodied carbon from buildings and infrastructure. A diverse mix of professionals joins our events, including architects, engineers, contractors, sustainability consultants, material suppliers, building owners, and policymakers. Our events include informative presentations and interactive group discussions that address a range of topics relating to embodied carbon. We aim to build up local industry capacity to design and construct buildings and infrastructure that radically reduce embodied carbon.CLF Vancouver is connected to the larger global network of the Carbon Leadership Forum. Since our first event in April 2019, we have organized 30+ events and built up a local network of 600+ professionals.Sign up for our mailing list to learn about upcoming events, and become a member of the Carbon Leadership Forum to join the online discussion with the global CLF community.
