What is sustainable construction?
The built environment is responsible for almost 40% of both global CO2 emissions and natural resource consumption. According to experts, direct emissions from building need to halve by 2030 to get on track for a net-zero carbon building stock by 2050. Sustainable construction will play a key role in achieving this goal.
In what ways can sustainable construction help decarbonize the built environment, what are some of its main principles and methods, and how is Â鶹´«Ã½ making it happen? Ryan Roberts, Head of Sustainable Construction at Â鶹´«Ã½, offers a deep-dive into the topic.
By building sustainably we can address both the climate and biodiversity crises. The keys to a sustainable future for both people and the planet are circular construction practices that shift us toward a truly circular economy, and decarbonizing the built environment through low-carbon and energy-efficient solutions.
