UZUN + CASE

Uzun + Case is developing and will soon publish an Embodied Carbon Action Plan on the SE 2050 website. The plan will outline the steps we are taking now to help achieve net zero by 2050. Furthermore, we will be contributing embodied carbon modeling data to the SE 2050 database for use by the structural engineering community to better understand the role of embodied carbon in assessing the environmental impact of building structures. In addition to reducing embodied carbon in our own projects, we have committed to acting as advocates for the building industry's path to substantive reductions of embodied carbon in all structural systems by communicating our efforts, successes, and lessons learned with clients, the design community, and the public. We are dedicated to shifting the way structural engineers view their role in sustainable design by looking at embodied carbon reduction not as a project specific requirement but as an underlying design principal. We are excited to embark on the mission of net zero structures by 2050 alongside a growing partnership of firms dedicated to reducing the environmental impact of building structures.
