REGISTER NOW It’s often said that the greenest building is the one that already exists, yet until recently this idea lacked robust, data-backed evidence. As a result, the carbon benefits of reusing existing buildings are frequently overlooked in climate action strategies, carbon accounting, and design decision-making. This gap represents a major missed opportunity for professionals in preservation, planning, design, and policy to better measure their potential impact and advocate more effectively for building reuse. The CARE (Carbon Avoided Retrofit Estimator) Tool addresses this challenge by enabling decision-makers to quantify the carbon benefits of renovating and upgrading existing buildings versus demolishing and constructing new ones.

James Roseberry, AIA, CDT, LEED AP BD+C, Director of Sustainability, Trivers Associates James is the Director of Sustainability and an Associate with Trivers. He is experienced in historic renovation, adaptive reuse, and technical spaces. He has also served a key role on many impactful projects in the St. Louis area. He has contributed to a number of Trivers’… Continue Reading Green Building Break – Leveraging Existing Buildings with the CARE Tool
