The financial case for sustainable design: How LCA data shows the ROI of building green

About this webinar:

What if building green didn’t just save the planet—but made you money?

The built environment is under pressure to decarbonize. But when budgets are tight, and code compliance feels like enough, how do you make the case for going beyond the minimum?

Join this webinar to learn how life-cycle assessment (LCA) and environmental product declaration (EPD) data can be used to prove that sustainable building isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s a smart financial investment.

You'll learn about a real-world project that connects environmental transparency with financial performance. Learn how code-minimum baselines were built using verified LCA data, how those baselines revealed the financial upside of building green, and what it takes to scale this approach for broader impact.

What will you learn?

• How to use LCA and EPD data to quantify ESG impact in the built environment

• Why building beyond code can save — and generate — money in the long run

• How credible baselines can help justify sustainable design, policy, and investment decisions

This webinar is designed for:

• Real estate developers and investors looking to align ESG goals with financial performance

• AEC professionals who want to back up sustainability claims with verifiable data
