2022 Annual Report
Making a Difference Now, For the Future


COMMITTING


TO NET ZERO

The mission of the SE 2050 Commitment is to support the SE 2050 Challenge and
transform the practice of structural engineering in a way that is holistic,
firm-wide, project based, and data-driven. By prioritizing reduction of embodied
carbon, through the use of less and/or less impactful structural materials,
participating firms can more easily work toward net zero embodied carbon
structural systems by 2050.

SE 2050 HIGHLIGHTS

ECOM

ECOM is a simple embodied carbon estimator to calculate the approximate
(E)mbodied (C)arbon (O)rder of (M)agnitude based on the project’s structural
material quantities.

On December 16, 2019 the Board of Governors of SEI unanimously voted to support
the development of the SE 2050 Commitment Program:

“We, the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) of the American Society of Civil
Engineers (ASCE), support the vision and ambition of the SE 2050 Challenge. We,
as a leading structural engineering organization in the United States, recognize
the need for coordinated action across our profession to achieve the globally
stated goal of net zero carbon by 2050.”


WHAT IS EMBODIED CARBON?



Embodied carbon refers to the upfront emissions associated with the raw material
extraction, fabrication and installation of building materials.

MEASURING EMBODIED CARBON FOR STRUCTURES



There are different ways to measure the embodied carbon of structural systems
and all offer varying degrees of information on the overall impact of the
system. In general, the most common is to to either consider the entire life
cycle of the building from cradle-to-grave or to only consider the impact of
product stage of the building materials from cradle-to-gate.  Each has benefits
and deficiencies.  All ways to measure impacts also includes a variable level of
what components are actually considered.

WHO WE ARE



SE 2050 is a group of structural engineers dedicated to developing and managing
a comprehensive program designed to ensure substantive embodied carbon
reductions in the design and construction of our structural systems by the
collective structural engineering profession.  Our mission is to support our
professional community in the goal of net zero embodied carbon structural
systems by 2050.

Learn More


WHAT IS SE 2050?



Our ultimate goal is to achieve net zero embodied carbon structures by 2050 by
providing the structural engineering community the resources and guidance they
need to make this goal a reality.  We also provide our community the current
state of structural system embodied carbon nationally by publishing current
trends and benchmarks and push our community for reductions by providing annual
embodied carbon targets to achieve net zero by 2050.

VOICING OUR SUPPORT

"Reduction in embodied carbon in our built environment has risen to the top of
structural engineering agendas globally. I applaud and endorse the goals of the
SE 2050 Embodied Carbon Challenge."


GLENN BELL, PE

Past President, Structural Enginnering Institute (SEI)
"The Carbon Leadership Forum is thrilled that SEI accepted the vision of our
Structural Engineer's 2050 Embodied Carbon Challenge. Industry leadership like
this is critical to ensure we work together with collective action for greatest
impact."


KATE SIMONEN, AIA, SE

Director, Carbon Leadership Forum
"Its incumbent on the structural engineering profession to recognize the role
the structural engineer plays in embodied carbon reductions. We are excited to
join the developing SE 2050 Commitment Program along with other firms to
collectively find ways to reduce embodied carbon of our structural systems."


BILL LOVALLO, PE
