Vertical Group

Vertical Group is the sustainability consulting firm named in California buildings must limit "embodied carbon." Here’s what that means. The source says its founder, identified as Shula, helped ensure that Malibu High School’s materials met sustainability requirements.

The firm’s role is to make Embodied Carbon Building Code operational: instead of treating climate impact as a general aspiration, it reviews specific building components such as roof, floor, steel, walls, paint, and insulation. That links consulting work to Construction Carbon Compliance and to the availability of Low-Carbon Construction Materials.
