Everybody in the Pool

Episode 20: What Goes into that Pool You’re Building


Listen Later

This week on Everybody in the Pool, more hard problems! Today we’re talking to a startup focused on buildings and the carbon emissions that get literally built into them. That comes from construction materials like walls and flooring and yes, concrete, and even windows and the steel used to support them. Increasingly, developers and builders are on the hook for measuring and reducing what’s known as “embodied carbon,” and this week’s startup helps them do just that. Nicole Granath and Anneli Tostar of Tangible Materials join Molly to talk about building better buildings, and, full disclosure, make a lot of “tangible” puns.
