Get Started

Embedded energy looks at the sum total of energy used to extract or mine raw materials, manufacture the raw materials into a product, and transport that product to market. Find out how much energy you use currently in your design process – and how to reach your design goals with less energy expenditures. It’s like they say: a little can go a long way.
