Abstract: A building structure�s ecological impact due to the embodied carbon in the building materials chosen has become an increasingly prominent factor in the selection of building structural systems. Understanding the relative embodied carbon of different structural systems allows students to make informed decisions in the design process that better achieve the increasingly demanding goal of producing sustainable architecture. The inclusion of this topic in academia has the benefit of giving students experience with energy assessment tools that could be utilized in the profession upon their graduation.
