Lindsey Kahler understands that embodied carbon data is key to minimizing the most devastating impacts of climate change. She has dedicated her work as an architectural and sustainability designer at SERA Architects to developing research-based, process-oriented, climate-positive design solutions. In this effort, she co-authored a case study that quantifies the environmental impacts of a deep retrofit project, emphasizing the complexity of measuring embodied carbon emissions, shedding light on the need for harmonized data and methodologies. Lindsey advocates for the need to standardize whole building life cycle assessment modeling and embodied carbon benchmarking across the AEC industry. She has led the charge at SERA with her efforts to track embodied carbon data for the firm’s portfolio and she has future aspirations to inform firm-wide benchmarking and reduction targets.
