About the course

The RAIC, in collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), is excited to launch this 12-module, on-demand course designed to equip architectural professionals with essential knowledge and skills in Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

With the Canadian built environment ranking as the third-highest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, there is an urgent need to integrate sustainable practices into building design. This open-access course offers a comprehensive, flexible learning experience, providing in-depth training on embodied carbon assessment, regulatory requirements, and industry-standard LCA methodologies.

Participants will gain practical experience with LCA tools, learning how to assess and reduce embodied carbon across a building’s life cycle—from material selection to project completion. Whether you’re an architect, technologist, engineer, landscape architect, student, or sustainability professional, this course will empower you to implement LCA principles in real-world projects.

Start learning today and be part of the movement towards a low-carbon built environment!
