Cambie LCA Case Study
This LCA case study evaluates a proposed 26-storey residential building on Cambie Street in Vancouver. The goal was to assess the feasibility and cost impact of reducing embodied carbon by at least 10%, in line with the City of Vancouver’s policy. Through smart design strategies, the project achieved a 19% reduction, exceeding requirements while delivering cost savings.
