Decarbonization Made Simple: Operational, Embodied & Refrigerants — w/ Kristy Walson (LEED Fellow)

How do we cut carbon in buildings—without the jargon? LEED Fellow Kristy Walson (Principal, Branch Pattern) joins Marcus to explain decarbonization in plain terms: operational carbon, embodied carbon, refrigerants, and how they link to scope 1–3. We cover where to start (utility bills and work orders), why energy modeling guides smart spending, the roadblocks in lease language, and how MEP 2040 is moving the market. Topics: 00:00 Intro & Kristy’s background 02:15 Biggest myth: “Decarbonization always costs more” 03:40 One-sentence job description (almost!) 04:20 What “decarbonization” means—in simple terms 05:45 Why buildings matter (40% of global emissions) 13:35 “All the carbons”: operational, embodied, refrigerants 15:40 Mapping to scope 1, 2, 3 17:20 Where owners should start: utility data, work orders, maintenance 20:05 Energy modeling = better decisions & business case 24:40 Case study: electrification vs. envelope (Rebuild 2024) 29:20 The surprising part: basics done well beat shiny tech 31:10 From efficiency to carbon accountability (life-cycle view) 32:50 Global Network for Zero & portfolios 34:30 Biggest barrier: lease language (green leases) 37:30 What successful teams do differently: set goals early 39:20 Advice for engineers entering the field 41:25 Passion project: MEP 2040 and industry momentum 44:30 Wrap-up About the Guest: Kristy Walson — Principal at Branch Pattern, LEED Fellow. Specializes in energy modeling, net-zero strategy, and whole-life carbon. About the Host: Marcus Hazelwood, CEM — Principal at EA Energy Solutions; host of Clear Haze Exchange. 👍 Like • 🔔 Subscribe • 💬 Comment: What’s one carbon-reduction move you’d start with in an existing building?
