The Bentway Phase 1 LCAStrategy, Certification
This life cycle assessment of The Bentway's Phase 1 public space quantifies the carbon footprint of materials used beneath Toronto's Gardiner Expressway, finding that hardscape elements are the primary source of embodied emissions and identifying recycled, reclaimed, and bio-based alternatives to guide future phases.
The Cost + Carbon of Canadian Commercial Construction
Policy
Prepared for the University of Toronto's Mass Timber Institute and Entuitive, this report compares the embodied carbon and construction costs of reinforced concrete, steel, mass timber, and hybrid timber systems across a prototypical 12-storey office building modeled in Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver, finding that structural system selection is the primary determinant of both cost and carbon.
